description for "Fruits and Nuts: Asimina triloba 'Taylor'"
Taylor produces medium size, delicious fruit. Very productive and early ripening. This hardy American fruit brings a taste of the tropics to your table. Delectable, fruity banana-like flavor combines with custard-like texture to bring you a fruit you thought only far south. Hardy to at least minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, even gardeners in the northeren U.S. can grow this delicious fruit. Besides bearing unique and flavorful fruit, it makes a beautiful ornamental. A pretty pyramidal shaped small tree, its large tropical looking leaves, reaching up to one foot long, turn a beautiful yellow in the fall. Most Paw paws require pollination from a different paw paw variety to produce fruit. Edited by M.Tate.
