Tropical Treat pawpaw is a remarkable find. Selected from Madison County, Kentucky by Woody Walker in 2010 and introduced to the nursery scene by Cliff England in 2015, it is a highly productive tree, with fruits that can grow to be up to 6 inches long and average 6-10 ounces. It has a thicker skin making it less likely to bruise when handled and keeps well in cold storage. It requires a long, hot growing season for optimal size and flavor and given enough days (10+) above 90 degrees, it will show a color break when ripe. Tropical Treat pawpaw is considered to be one of the best tasting pawpaws on the market and has a mild tropical Mango/Vanilla custard flavor with a hint of pineapple. Ripens very late-season.
