Pawpaws need some babying to establish but are worth the effort. It does not tolerate dry compacted soils and they have a long taproot so transplanting is difficult. As it matures and establishes it will tolerate full sun. Preference is for loose, moist to dry, well-drained soils in partial shade. Its leaves are the only plant the beautiful zebra swallowtail butterfly caterpillars will eat. More than one genetic strain is needed for best fruit set. The fruit of Dwarf Pawpaw is smaller than other pawpaws but is edible off the tree or used in cooking.
The small brownish-purple, six-petaled flowers are borne singly in leaf axils before leaf emergence. The young shoots and leaves are covered with a rusty down, later becoming smooth. Small-flowered Pawpaw is a shrub found in SE USA and most areas of NC in dry pine or oak forests or thickets. Phonetic Spelling ah-SIH-min-ah par-vi-FLO-ra Description
