Asimina triloba ‘Benson’
Selected at Kentucky State University for its heavily productive, early-ripening, round, tasty fruit. It has a delicious flavor with hints of mango and pineapple, and a rich, fruity aroma. It is widely adaptable and an excellent choice for areas that have cooler summers. Probably on the low end of chill hours in pawpaw’s standard 400-800 range.
Unusually disease-resistant with pretty, smooth, green skin when ripe. Hand pollination will increase fruit set, alternatively, adding a small pile of decaying meat to the base of each tree just before blooms open will bring in the flies and beetles that pollinate these unusual trees. Shade from direct sun during first 2 summers – even mature trees may benefit from afternoon shade in hot climates. Also protect young trees from slug and snail damage.
Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5
Chill Hours Needed: Unverified; most require between 400 -800 hours
Mature Height: 10′-15′
Sun: Full Sun to Part Shade in Hot Climates
Ripening Time: Early/Fall
Pollination: Need Different Variety as a Pollinizer
