Self Fertile variety
A flavour-packed addition for any adventurous gardener, Asimina triloba 'Prima 1216' stands out for its large, oval fruits that deliver creamy, tropical-looking flesh combining notes of mango, banana and pineapple.
This self-fertile pawpaw cultivar fruits even on its own, making it ideal for smaller gardens or solitary planting. When ripe, the skin softens and the flesh turns golden-yellow, offering a custard-like texture that melts on the tongue. The tree has a compact, pyramidal growth habit with lance shaped leaves that turn a cheerful yellow in autumn, adding ornamental value beyond its fruit. Hardy and robust, it tolerates temperate winters yet rewards you with late-season fruit — a treat for autumn harvests. Ultimate height: 5m (16.4ft). Ultimate spread: 3m (9.8ft).
