About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The pawpaw Prima 1216 is a self fertile variety of the species Asimina triloba, selected in Italy. It bears fruit comparatively young and also serves as a pollinator for other pawpaws. The fruits ripen from mid September to early October, are rounded and about 7 to 12 cm in size. As they ripen the green skin softens and the flesh becomes creamy, sweet and golden yellow. At around 5 to 6 m in height the tree stays manageable and turns yellow in autumn. For gardens in Germany, Austria and Switzerland the variety suits sheltered, warm positions with sufficient winter protection in its early years.

The flesh tastes creamy and sweet with tropical notes reminiscent of banana and mango, and is best enjoyed fresh or in smoothies.
