Asimina triloba 'NC-1' - Pawpaw
Don't be put off by the unromantic test name of this vigorous new selection from Canada. This hybrid of A. 'Davis' x A. 'Overleese' bears large fruits that can weigh as much as 12 ounces. It ripens as early as mid-September, a great start to the Pawpaw season!
Asimina triloba 'Overleese' - Pawpaw

Specimen Plants, grown in 3-gallon pots.
Asimina triloba 'Pennsylvania Golden' - Pawpaw
A relatively new selection, bearing large, yellow fruits with golden flesh in mid-September, one of the earliest to ripen.
Asimina triloba 'Sunflower' - Pawpaw
A reliable producer of fine-textured delicious fruit with yellow skin and butter-colored flesh. Ripens in early October. If you have room for only one Pawpaw, you may want to try 'Sunflower' as it is reported to be somewhat self-fruitful, though always better with a pollinator. Selected from the wild in Kansas.
Specimen Plants, grown in 3-gallon pots.
