This Paw Paw bundle is great for PNW growers, or folks growing in regions with a shorter summer season. The Allegheny and Pennsylvania Golden are well-suited as pollinating partners.

Asimina triloba 'Pennsylvania Golden'

The earliest of all our varieties to ripen, with reliable harvests of medium-sized fruit. A great variety to try in cooler regions, or use this as an early ripener in long summer areas to extend your harvest of these sweet treasures! 

Asimina triloba 'Allegheny®'

Allegheny® Paw Paw boasts remarkable flavor and yields, with fruit up to 0.5 lbs in weight if thinned early. Distinctive creamy-yellow flesh provides a sweet, delicious taste, and Allegheny® is the first of the Peterson Pawpaw™ varieties to ripen. While smaller and higher seed-to-flesh ratio (8%) than most of Peterson's introductions, the flavor and early ripening of the fruits made customers push Neal into introducing this variety!

Paw paw trees grown in cooler locations will be on the shorter end of the height estimate; you can expect your tree to reach 10' in cool summer regions. Hand pollination will increase fruit set, alternatively, adding a small pile of decaying meat to the base of each tree just before blooms open will bring in the flies and beetles that pollinate these unusual trees. Shade from direct sun during first 2 summers - even mature trees may benefit from afternoon shade in hot climates. Also protect young trees from slug and snail damage.
