Pawpaw: a surprising, exotic fruit for your vegetable garden

Pawpaw vruchten aan een boom

Pawpaw has a sweet, tropical flavor with hints of mango, banana, and melon. The flesh of pawpaw is soft and creamy, reminiscent of the texture of avocado or pudding. It is a very unique and delicious fruit. The fruit should not be confused with the tropical papaya. That is a completely different fruit. In this article I will explain how you can easily grow this exotic fruit at home.

Pawpaw tree

Pawpaw trees are winter hardy and can withstand temperatures down to -30°C. They are extremely well suited to our climate.

About the blogger

My name is Tom and I am co-owner of Plukkers.com. I am the father of two beautiful daughters and I have a wonderful wife. When I turned a bare spot in the lawn into a herb garden in 2014, I got a very special feeling inside. I immediately felt that it was not a whim but the start of an irresistible and fiery passion. I wanted to know everything and also wrote down what I learned on my website Moestuinweetjes, which is now called Plukkers.com. I also want to inspire other people to grow their own food. At my house in Wielsbeke is my dream garden with a greenhouse, vegetable garden and a hobby vineyard with 333 vines. In addition to wine, I also make delicious beer at home to occasionally celebrate life in moderation. I toast with you to an exciting, richly filled life under the motto: "Make it yourself!"
