My Edible Fruit Trees: Pawpaw Trees

Pawpaw Banana Lolly

Comments: - The Banana Lolly Pawpaw is a variation from New Zealand where it produces fruit that have a different flavour to all other Asiminas. They are described as tasting like Banana Lollies, the yellow banana shaped candies you used to buy at the local shop as a kid. 

Planted: 2022

Height 20 Centimetres

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 1

Dwarf Pawpaw

Comments: - Asimina obovata, along with most other Florida Asiminas, tends to be a smaller plant than the more usual Pawpaw that is grown in Australia. A. obovata is commonly called the Bigflower Pawpaw and grows as a bush or a small tree.

What kind of paw paw are these?

I don't know-I just bought half a pawpaw from the fruit shop, dried the seeds out & planted them. It was a orange oval shaped one.

Comments: - Seedlings from superior varieties I had imported from a breeding program in the US - Shennandoah, Pa Golden, Susquehanna and Allegheny. Hoping enough winter chill here in Tyalgum to initiate flowering

i would be interested in seeds ... if you could help cheers

Hi Again Phil, how did these work for you? Any luck, how do they taste? Another tempting fruit!

I have some healthy looking seedlings but they are very slow, planted out some into the ground and just waiting for some decent growth to occur. Some years off fruiting it would seem. Seeds come up on eBay most times of the year, generally from the US - they are approved for import.

Pawpaw (Seedling) ^6/10

Comments: -

Pawpaw Southern Red Bisexual - from Daleys. Tastes yummy, but less yummy during cold weather. I've recently figured out that the best thing to do with those green fruit that are showing a bit of skin damage from the winter is to use them up about August thru October as a vege (my favorite is Thai green pawpaw salad), because if I let them get ripe they won't taste good. Any green fruit that still look ok by October can be left to ripen on the tree. Tree looks nice from about November to June (then it looks very shabby due to the winter weather). Planted next to a north facing brick wall (NNE actually), with moderate wind exposure. Water in warmer weather. I'll give it 6/10 for Sydney climate, although I'd give almost any pawpaw 9/10 in the tropics.

I've grown a few pawpaws (mostly Southern Red bisexual or their prodigy) here in Sydney, and they usually die after 2 to 4 years. I suppose the cool winters and damp clay soils aren't kind to them. I planted some pawpaws in Perth's sandy soil once that lasted longer, and I got more fruit to the fully ripe stage (the aspect of that spot in Perth was as good as it gets though, so that may explain its better performance)

PAWPAW - YELLOW YD1B HYBRID Carica papaya (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Love Papaya Fruit, i am growing other varieties in Adelaide ( Southern Red and recent purchase of a Thai dwarf Torpedo - all purchased from Daley's), but thought i'd give

  the PAWPAW - YELLOW YD1B HYBRID a try as well - going to have Papaya coming out of my ears haha. It is showing strong growth in only 10 eeks! purchased 2 from Daley's hopefully one is male and the other female, would be miffed if they were both the same sex!.

Papaya is in a 430mm pot with rich organics and mulch also the pot has a 30mm layer of volcanic rock which ensures excellent drainage at all times. I have also drilled over a dozen extra holes into the sides and bottom of the pot - potting mix is my own blend that retains moisture so the need to water is just a light sprinkle wit a watering can.

Again the Papaya is living in my semi-enclosed pergola that has clear perspec sheeting allowing filtered light and sheilding from hot winds and cold nights. I have done all i can the rest is up to nature now haha.

Pawpaw - Bisexual and Female (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

These trees have been grown from seeds taken of fruits from the market.  I used long bisexual fruits.  I renew these plants every few years.  They are quick growing and productive but the winter wind in Perth make them bold in winter.  They come back in Spring though and the fruits are nice in Spring and Summer.  I now keep both bisexual and female plants.  The female is gigantic with about 20 side branches!  I thought they were meant to be single stemmed.

Pawpaw

Comments: -

A fruit we eat a lot of and an important medicinal. I would probably need to plant seedlings both male and female and still might be unreliable so I might propagate some more Babaco as substitute.
