Asimina triloba ~ Common Pawpaw, Tall Pawpaw
Common Pawpaw is a deciduous native understory tree with slightly drooping broad medium green leaves that hold their color well into fall before turning bright yellow. Fragrant purple cup-shaped flowers bloom in spring and give way to large edible yellow-green fruits that ripen to brown in fall. Fruits have a flavor similar to bananas. Flowers best with part sun and moist well-drained acidic soils.
Asimina triloba is a host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail caterpillar.
