Botanical Name: Asimina triloba
The heart of the native range of the pawpaw is north of central Texas (in Kentucky and Arkansas) but certain varieties may do well here provide it can withstand the hotter, drier summers. It is recommended to have two trees from different genetic stock to successfully pollinate.
