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!

Pawpaws were damaged in shipping
Both my pawpaws were damaging in transit, I wanted two more but they were all out. I had to settle for a refund via store credit.
Very Happy and Satisfied
I purchased this tree for my sister and her husband who live in PA. They were extremely pleased, and I was very happy it arrived quickly. Yes, I would definitely purchase again, but not for myself since I live in El Paso, TX where most plants and trees come to die. The weather here is very dry and I've had too many plant lives pass away. Unless you could offer me a list of trees you KNOW survive in the desert. . . . I already have 4 olive trees, but other than that I'm open for suggestions.
Arrived in great shape!
Paw Paw arrived in great shape, a few dark spots on the leaves but not a big deal, I can treat it for any disease it may have.
Looks great
The tree arrived in apparent good condition. Hopefully it will survive the transplant
Healthy and happy
The tree is healthy and growing. It was in great shape when I opened the box and looked like I picked it up from the nursery down the street! Though they don’t have paw paw trees. I like odd or different trees and flowers and everything I have bought from your nursery has been great.
