Seed-sown Asimina plant with a strong root system.
These trees come from a hardy mother plant and are seedlings from the seeds we also sell. These trees overwinter outdoors already the first year planted in the ground with winter covering (fleece in this case). The mother plant is of the Sunflower variety.
The trees are easily self-fertile but 2 trees are recommended for good pollination.
Common name: Asimina, Paw paw
Scientific name: Asimina triloba
Family: Annonaceae
Growth history & use:
Asimina is one of the most tropical-like fruits that can grow in our northern climate. The taste resembles a mix of banana and mango, and the texture is like papaya or a perfectly ripe avocado. The fruit looks like a small green mango with golden yellow flesh.
The fruits are usually eaten as they are but can also be used to enrich refreshing drinks, baked goods, and cocktails with their mildly tropical flavor. The fruits are rich in vitamins such as riboflavins and B-6. They can also be used to make ice cream.
Cultivation:
Asimina originates from and grows naturally in North America, often as undergrowth beneath larger trees.
They thrive in humus-rich, nutrient-rich, and somewhat moist well-drained soils.
Asimina prefers sheltered locations and therefore grows well under larger trees and also likes to stand close together (about 1 m apart) when fully grown. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and facilitates pollination. An east-facing location is suitable for planting Asimina. Plants growing in exposed locations fare significantly worse than those in sheltered spots.
Water generously or plant in a place with good water availability.
Asimina puts a lot of energy into developing a strong root system at the start – the root can often be thicker than the stem during the first months. When pot-growing, a tip is to plant in deep pots directly; this allows for more effective root development and avoids disturbing the plant before it has grown strong.
In open ground, Asimina grows into dense thickets through spreading by root shoots.
Characteristics:
Lifespan: Perennial
Growing position: partial shade
Height: 2-12 m
Growing zone: 1-5
Harvest maturity:
years 4-8
