Its common name is probably a modification of the Spanish papaya. It is native to eastern North America, where it grows in deep shade to full sunlight in moist, nutrient-rich forests. It will tolerate occasional wet or moist conditions but prefers good drainage and acidic soil. The species epithet means \"three-lobed\" and refers to the fruits, which may have one to five lobes, each of which ripens as a separate berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early spring, 6-petaled, purplish-brown flowers mature before the leaves emerge. Flowers have both male and female parts but are self-incompatible. A genetically different pollen donor (a pollinizer) is needed for fruit production. In late summer to early fall, pawpaw produces an edible, sweet, custard-like fruit 2.5 to 6 inches long. Harvesting the fruit can be difficult with competition from hungry wildlife. It is recommended to wear gloves when harvesting as contact dermatitis has been known to occur. The large leaves turn a yellow color in the fall and provide interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePawpaw does well in naturalized, riparian, or woodland areas. It is a flowering tree that attracts butterflies, pollinators, small mammals, and songbirds, which makes pawpaw a good addition to a butterfly, pollinator, or rain garden.

The pawpaw peduncle borer (\u003cem\u003eTalponia plummeriana\u003c\/em\u003e) is a small moth whose larvae burrow into flower stalks. They can destroy large numbers of flowers. This pest is in NC. The zebra swallowtail butterfly larvae feed on young leaves, but they seldom do permanent damage, nor do they affect fruit yield. Trees can produce root suckers, which can be troublesome in the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Furion.com\/Susana's Secret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44217877758040,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/8103\/7144\/files\/IMG-2296.heic?v=1781124720","url":"https:\/\/furion.com\/pt\/products\/1-paw-paw-tree-only-organic-pesticides-used-in-12-deep-root-pot-1st-year-tree-copy","provider":"Furion.com\/Susana's Secret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
