Mango Pawpaw was obtained from a collector in Tifton, Georgia. Mango pawpaw are large, native, early ripening and very delicious fruit with yellow flesh reminiscent of a mango. The texture being very smooth. We usually offer grafted plants on seedling stock and Mango pawpaw seedlings grown from seeds collected from our Mango pawpaw trees at the nursery. Space as close as 6' or 14' circles for each tree. Pollination works best when trees are close to one another. For pollination choose a different variety of pawpaw if you order a grafted plant. Select pawpaw or native pawpaw are seedlings. Seedlings will cross pollinate each other. For instance, two seedling Mango pawpaw will pollinate each other, but two grafted Mango pawpaw will not. Zones 5 -8

Shenandoah has been the clear favorite of my pawpaw customers at the DuPont Circle farmers market in Washington, DC. Even doubters and scoffers have been converted to pawpaw lovers by this variety! It is a real taste treat -- smooth, custard texture, with just the right balance of fragrance, sweet fruity flavor and agreeable aftertaste. This tree originated as a seedling of 'Overleese' and, it must be said, is superior to its parent. Large fruit with few seeds (6% by weight). Texture is firmer than wild pawpaws but softer than the other two varieties. Fruit is often borne in single-fruited clusters. Good yields. Shenandoah responds well to pruning.Key Features of the Shenandoah pawpaw: Good Yields Sweet mild flavor Fleshy - only 6% seed Succulent, custard texture Most popular at DC farmers market Responds well to pruning

Rappahannock is a superior tree for picking fruit from. The fruit is easier to spot among the foliage, because of the horizontal habit of the leaves, and because its fruits typically change to a yellowish-green when they are ready to pick. These are large, beautiful, well-shaped and symmetrical fruits, whether borne singly or in clusters. The flavor is superior as well, very sweet and refreshing. This tree originated as a seedling from a tree in the Blandy Experimental Farm collection. Rappahannock has large fruit (though somewhat smaller the two varieties) with a firm flesh and few seeds (6% by weight). Very vigorous with good yields.Key Features of the Rappahannock pawpaw: Firm flesh Good yields Fleshy - only 3% seed Sweet refreshing flavor More regular & uniform shape Earlier harvest (some color break plus horizontally held leaves)
