While the harvest is not as bountiful as other varieties, the quality of the fruit makes up for it! Large and flavorful, tasting strongly of b\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eanana with mango undertones and a refreshing melon aftertaste.\u003c\/span\u003e Its high pulp-to-seed ratio and wonderfully dense flesh means more fruit on your spoon! Due to Northern heritage, chill hours will be on the high end of pawpaw's 400-800 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat for cool region growers. Hand pollination will increase fruit set, alternatively, adding a small pile of decaying meat to the base of each tree just before blooms open will bring in the flies and beetles that pollinate these unusual trees. Shade from direct sun during first 2 summers - even mature trees may benefit from afternoon shade in hot climates. Also protect young trees from slug and snail damage.
