Where is the best place to plant a pawpaw tree?
Pawpaws are understory trees, which means they can still thrive under the canopy of a taller tree. These fruit plants like humidity, grow best in moist ground, and are often found in fertile soil along waterways and hillsides. Pawpaw trees grow best in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 9.
What zones do pawpaw trees grow in?
The pawpaw grows best in areas with hot summers and cold winters (USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5 to 8). It is hardy and relatively pest-free, and its tolerance to shade makes it suitable for intercropping with certain other trees.
