The Paw Paw is a small spreading tree prized for its delicious edible fruit with a unique banana-pear flavor and creamy custard-like texture. Sweet and rich, the fruit is packed with vitamins and nutrients. While the flowers emit a distinctive fetid odor, they attract pollinators and make this tree a valuable host plant for zebra swallowtail butterflies. Perfect for gardeners seeking both ornamental interest and homegrown fruit production.
