To keep pawpaw trees productive and in good health, pruning at the right time and in the right way is essential. Pruning will not only keep your pawpaw trees compact and under control but will also encourage vigorous growth for the year ahead.
Pawpaw trees, or Asimina triloba, are cherished for their unique fruits and lush foliage, both of which can be seen in the images here. Recognized as the largest edible fruit grown in North America - similar in shape to papaya - pawpaw trees have undergone a revival in recent years, with many gardeners planting these native trees in backyards. Suitable care is essential, however, particularly if you want to enjoy a bumper harvest.
