Like Growing Dessert in Your Backyard

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!

Perfect condition!

Excellent! I was worried because delivery was very delayed. I contacted Fast Growing Trees, but they put my mind at ease. Sure enough, my baby Paw Paw tress showed up in perfect condition!

Paw Paw Tree

We ordered a Paw Paw Tree a couple of years ago not realizing that you need two of them in order for them to fruit. With Spring being the best time to plant a young Paw Paw Tree, we ordered one from Fast Growing Trees. The ordering process was easy, they kept me up to date on the delivery. The best thing compared to most online tree companies is that they did not ship a bare root and no leaves with instructions on how to perform CPR on your comatose tree. These guys shipped a fabulous looking tree in a pot with SOIL (how about that). Just like you would get from your local nursery. We look forward to our plants reaching maturity so we can sample some of their delicious fruit.

Paw Paw Trees

I ordered two small paw paws and they arrived in good shape. One has sprouted leaves and the other is showing signs. Can’t wait to see these crazy fruits someday! Thank you!

Paw Paw slow growing tree

The trees arrived very well packaged and little sticks. Healthy just small. I planted and keep shaded half the day. After 2 months 1 tree has grown about 5 inches and the other about 3 inches taller. Neither has any folage yet, just taller. Steady, healthy growth, just slower than expected. Maybe once temps get into summer weather we will see it take off. Overall very pleased and looking forward to it's fruiting years.
