Asimina triloba 'NC-1'

Asimina triloba ‘NC-1’ is a Canadian cultivar known for its early harvest and generous yields of sizable, flavourful fruit. This pawpaw, native to eastern North America including southern Ontario, is an appealing understorey tree featuring large, attractive subtropical leaves, red blossoms, and sweet, custard-like fruit with a distinctive taste reminiscent of banana, mango, and cantaloupe. While each plant can bear fruit, successful pollination requires two different seedlings or cultivars for cross-pollination.
