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 often grows under larger trees and also likes to stand close together (about 1 m apart) at full size. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and also facilitates pollination. An east-facing location is a suitable place to plant Asimina. Seedlings 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 growing in pots, a tip is to plant in deep pots right away; 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:
Longevity: Perennial
Growth position: partial shade
Height: 2-12 m
Hardiness zone: 1-5
Harvest maturity: year 4-8
