A new variety out of Iowa, this superior pawpaw produces HEAVY yields of large, delicious yellow fleshed fruit with low seed weight.  Selected seedling with Peterson pawpaw genetics.  Tom Wahl developed this cultivar.  Tom named "pawpaws in the south patch after stars visible in the southern hemisphere". One of these named cultivars is 'Canopus'. It is a seedling of 'Susquehanna' and 'Shenandoah'. Tom describes this tree as a "new variety, very large fruit size, low seed, excellent flavor, very heavy production, late season".

NATURALLY GROWN


Pollination: An Ultra-Select seedling pawpaw or any other grafted cultivar or seedling pawpaw tree will pollinate it. For good pollination, plant trees 8-15 ft away from each other only. Pawpaws are not male and female, but rather have “male and female” flower parts on each flower. Every tree is capable of bearing fruit if pollinated well with pollen from another genetically different pawpaw tree. Hand pollination results in heaviest fruit set.

Resistant to: Shows good disease resistance to Phylosticta.  Pawpaws are generally remarkably disease and insect resistant. See our pawpaw growing article for full information. https://mediaspearhead.com/peacefulpawpaw-frequently-asked-questions/


Ripening: Late Season


Site requirements: Full sun location for best fruit production. Pawpaws will grow in shade but produce much less fruit. Pawpaws tolerate a range of soil types provided the planting location is well drained and there is heavy mulch and plenty of fertilizer and water. Protected locations, such as on the South, East or West side of a building is ideal on very windy sites and is recommended.

Size at maturity: 15-20′ tall and wide, depending on location, care and pruning to reduce height. We recommend heading them at about 8-10 ft tall and removing suckers, both of which keep the trees very manageable and small.

Hardiness: USDA zones 5-9. (Estimate)

Plant size: Grafted, with an excellent root system. CHOOSE SIZE
