Why American Paw Paw Trees?
Sweet and aromatic fruit that tastes like Boston Cream Pie? Not only is this fruit amazingly delicious...but you can now get it in your own backyard. In addition to its delectable fruit, it delivers lush green leaves with tropical appeal and vibrant blooms.
And through it all, it's unbelievably strong. The American Paw Paw is hardy down to an amazing -10 degrees, offering tropical treasures in even the chilliest climates. So, no matter where you live, you can bring the tropics home.
Thick leaves, rich and green in color, flood this mid-sized tree. The canopy is umbrella-shaped, with no lower limbs, giving it a palm-like feel. The Paw Paw gives you the best of both worlds, with large green fruit clinging to a thick, long trunk for unparalleled exotic harvests.
And wait until you taste it. It resembles a cross between a banana and a mango but tastes like Boston Cream Pie! Seriously...sweet, creamy and fragrant, there's so much rich flavor in the Paw Paw fruit it's been described as a soft blend of banana, melon, vanilla, and pineapple all in one.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Do you know of any other fruit in the world that combines all these terrific flavors with a wonderfully soft texture? We don't. That's why it's so difficult to find the Paw Paw at big-box garden stores or local garden centers.
But when you order your Paw Paw from Fast Growing Trees, you get it all: the promise of delicious tropical harvests as soon as the first few seasons, stunning good looks, and an intact, healthy root system.
Most fruit trees from chain retailers come bare-root, leaving up to 90% of their roots behind when you transplant into your landscape.
Your American Paw Paw from Fast Growing Trees is delivered right to your door, developed roots and better branching intact, grown in nutrient-rich soil for months ahead of shipping.
With all of the taste and health benefits, the Paw Paw lets you have your dessert and eat it too! But don't wait...get your own American Paw Paw Tree today!

Paw paw arrived as sticks.
Paw paw arrived as sticks. Now they have had time to leaf out and are doing great.
I have a tiny Paw Paw tree
My Paw Paw “tree” arrived very solidly packed already showing tiny green leaves. It has been planted and so far so good. The delivery was quick. Now I keep my fingers crossed that my tree will like its new location.

Excellent Customer Service
I want to praise the customer service I received after ordering paw paws. I have placed separate orders for each of the last three years for various items, including paw paw. In 2026, one of the two trees I initially ordered was broken across the full thickness of the trunk. These things happen and FTG made it right very quickly, with a simple process and a few pictures resulting in a quick replacement shipped my way. The replacement arrived damaged as well, though this time it was very clearly mishandling on the delivery company's part. The box was highly damaged. I felt a little bad filling a second complaint, but I did not want to lose out on the tree. I made it clear to the representative that the delivery company was the issue with this second one, but I still received a replacement. I was hoping for some form of support in filling a claim with the delivery company but instead received a second replacement tree and notice that FTG would file their own complaint regarding the condition of the package. I should note that, after having ordered approximately 30 trees and shrubs of various types over the last three years, these are the only two damaged items I have ever received, and I was impressed with how willing the company was to make it right.
