Nyomi’s Delicious

Pleasantly mild. sweet flavor with little to no aftertaste; Early ripening (Recommended for shorter-season, northern-range growers)

Found in the backyard of Ms. Nyomi, an elderly woman in Berea, KY and introduced by nurseryman Cliff England of McKee, KY, “Nyomi’s Delicious” is truly a gem of a pawpaw. The tree produces high yields of large-sized (8-12 ounce) fruits that can grow up to a pound. It has light yellow/orange flesh and a thick, dense, custard texture while the flavor is pleasantly mild and sweet with very little to no aftertaste. It is one of the few pawpaw varieties that will show a color break when ripe, turning slightly more yellow. Ripens early season.
