Pawpaw (Asimina) is a genus of eight or nine species of small
trees with large leaves and fruit, native to eastern
North America. The genus includes the largest edible
fruit indigenous to the continent. They are
understory trees found in deep fertile bottomland and hilly upland habitat.
The
fruit is a large edible
berry, 5 to 16 cm long and 3 to 7 cm broad, weighing from 20 to 500 g, with numerous
seeds; it is green when unripe, maturing to yellow or brown. It has a flavor somewhat similar to both
banana and
mango, varying significantly by cultivar, and has more
protein than most fruits.
