Buy Sweet Alice Pawpaw online. Sweet Alice Pawpaw is a rare, heirloom fruit tree celebrated for its bountiful harvest of large, sweet, orange-yellow fruits that ripen in September and October. Originally discovered by Homer Jacobs in West Virginia in 1934, this pawpaw has since become a beloved choice for its reliable yield and compact growth habit, making it ideal for smaller yards or as a unique orchard addition.
In spring, Sweet Alice Pawpaw delights with its intriguing purple-brown flowers that bloom in April and May, adding a touch of charm to your garden. This deciduous tree also produces one of the largest fruits of U.S. native pawpaw—a lumpy, yellow-green berry with a tropical flavor reminiscent of banana. To encourage the best fruit set, plant it alongside another pawpaw cultivar for optimal cross-pollination.
With smooth brown bark and lush, simple foliage, the Sweet Alice Pawpaw brings an exotic flair and delicious autumn harvests to any landscape.
