‘NC-1’ – this early to mid-season ripening variety has large, sweet fruit with few seeds. It’s very cold hardy since it originates from Ontario, Canada. ‘NC-1’ fruit usually ripens in mid-October and can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks.
The largest of the Native American fruits, the Paw Paw is one of the easiest to grow. The tree size is modest and does well in partial sun. Spring brings purple flowers that transform into clusters of oblong fruit. In fall, the large, green fruit softens, emits a ripe fragrance and takes on a yellow color. It’s then you pick and eat the flavorful fruit that’s reminiscent of banana custard. Fruit can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. The nutritious fruit is high in protein and a good source of vitamins and minerals. You must plant two different cultivars for cross-pollination. We love that Paw Paws are not susceptible to insects or diseases and therefore never need to be sprayed with pesticides. Paw Paws usually start bearing fruit 2-3 years after planting and can yield up to 30 pounds per tree.
