Georgia

Georgia pawpaw tree produces large fruits weighing around 200 to 400 g, with few seeds.

The flesh is aromatic and creamy. Pawpaw fruit has exotic aromas that can recall banana, mango or pineapple depending on the variety.

Harvest takes place in September. Maturity is grouped, making it possible to harvest the fruit in one main picking.

The tree is hardy down to around -25°C and no particular disease problems are noted for this species.

Georgia is self-fertile, so a single tree can produce fruit. Cross-pollination with another pawpaw variety should normally improve yield.

Pawpaw plants can be delicate at planting. They establish best when planted after growth has started, then watered during dry periods in the first years and kept free from excessive weed competition.

We supply Georgia as a grafted pawpaw tree on seedling pawpaw rootstock. The plant is grown for three years, with one year of graft growth.
