Sweet, Tropical Melon Flavor with Smooth Texture
Honeydew Pawpaw was discovered on a historical-property in Richmond, KY by Woody Walker.
It is a productive, excellent quality pawpaw with round fruit, very few freestone seeds and a wonderfully sweet, tropical melon flavor with a hint of banana.
The flesh texture of Honeydew Pawpaw ranges from chiffon to firm and freezes well. The fruit size averages around 9-10 ounces and ripens mid-season.

Beautiful Beginnings Pawpaws have highly-developed and extensive root systems that set your tree up for success from the very beginning by helping it to anchor well and grow vigorously with proper care. Trees are also grown and shipped in a way to help them handle transplant stress better and to be able to uptake nutrients more effectively.
