Asimina triloba 'Overlese'

Bold, exotic fruit flavour meets robust garden performance with Asimina triloba 'Overlese' — a hardy mid to late fruiting paw-paw prized for its generous, tropical-tasting fruit. The tree sets impressively large oval fruits, often between 8oz (225g) and larger, with creamy yellow-orange flesh that delivers a rich tropical medley of banana, mango and pineapple, and a smooth custardy texture. In spring it bears deep purplish-brown flowers before yielding fruit in early autumn — a delightful harvest for an otherwise modest-sized, deciduous tree that remains manageable for most gardens. With lush foliage and autumnal colouring, it adds ornamental value as well as edible interest. Ultimate height: 5m (16.4ft). Ultimate spread: 3m (9.8ft).Please note that this variety is not self fertile and requires a pollination partner to set fruit.
