Info

Hardiness: Zone 5
Size: 20-30ft tall x 20ft wide. Prune and train to keep smaller.
Sun: Prefers and thrives in full sun–6-8 hrs of direct sunlight. Can withstand some shade, but it will reduce yield and quality.
Siting: Pawpaw love rich soils, especially those with high water tables, and particularly floodplains. They are also quite hardy: so as long as they have ample water in early establishment, a top dressing of compost, and mulch, they should thrive.
