About Asimina triloba ‘Overleese’
The Pawpaw Asimina triloba ‘Overleese’ is a hardy fruit tree native to the United States. In the spring, striking dark red-purple flowers appear, followed by large, elongated pawpaw fruits with few seeds. Asimina tr. grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. ‘Asimina tr. Overleese’ is known for its large fruits, high yield, and excellent fruit quality, making it a popular cultivar for the edible garden. It is not self-pollinating, so pair it with Asimina tr. Sunflower or Prima1216 for good fruit set.
Fruit Quality
The large, elongated fruits are green to yellow-green and, when ripe, develop a soft, creamy flesh with a sweet, tropical flavor. The taste is reminiscent of a combination of banana, mango, and vanilla, making the fruits popular for eating fresh or using in desserts.
