Which Species are of interest or are tasty, or being grown by members of the forum?

A. parviffora ....I hear can taste OK
A. obavata....same as above
A. pygmaea...same as above
A. angustiolia ?
Asimina reticulata??

Deeringothamnus??? anyone growing or eaten any...I know they are rare as heck!!!

I'm getting quite a few to grow near me, and have a seed and seedling source for several shrubby varieties of Asimina, with fruits purported to taste good.

Hi,

Any of these Florida species grows on alkaline soils?

A. triloba does not do too well on alkaline conditions.

[Guanabanus]

Asimina tetramera, endangered species, has very thin pulp, which varies in flavor from terribly bitter to avocadoey to pawpawey. 

My only survivor got cut out by my mom cleaning up my yard in the winter when I was off to work:  "It looked dead!" Two years now, and the spot is still marked for a hoped-for resprout.

I saw a native Florida Facebook group
I do not have a facebook but saw it a while back
 I guess people are searching for different flavor profiles

These Pictures are nice as well I know where to find some of these (from web site)
also at least here you can use the Department of Natural resources IL DNR
That will tell of the forest preserves which species might be present

I use the DNR recently for CA(curious ) every site is different ,
and some take a while to get used to can also use the search engine there sometimes as long as you know the latin name.
What I heard one of the Pawpaws tasted like a Pina colata
I think this is it (but it was some time ago)

The FL Pawpaw Project, FB page is dedicated to finding Asimina species, especially A. trioloba, that are producing fruits in the state of FL. All information about Asiminas is appreciated here, but...

Saw these today on this site thought it was a good selection of pictures to share.

These are good as well
 (as seen in the temperate discussion already posted Asiminaholics )

Of coarse I forgot for a minute Cal photos always has good pictures as well
Use that for forging plants
CAL PHOTOS SHOWS ALOT & will explain with pictures if it's opposite leaves Alternate etc.


Deeringothamnus (Beautiful pawpaw)
 A Annonaceae those two species in Florida are pretty

Not sure if I found parvifloras or just tribolas, but I have found a few here and there around town.
I dug em up while they were dormant last winter, and nearly a year later my largest one has yet to push a single bud, although it’s still alive..?! It’s in moderate shade under a mulberry tree, because I found it in a similar understory setting, but so confused as to why it won’t push at all?

[Francis_Eric]

Were The leaves Fat in the middle like pawpaw, or skinny all the way from tip to tip and narrow like small Flower pawpaw.

More importently are you watering all the time may still b alive , but may delay leaves in that species …

(at least in my experience  I healed over 100, 5 foot trees in a mound of peat moss Soaking wet
the tree pulled out of the ground of the trees too wet the one in dry air put out leaves )
(thought a Taxi Driver from Chicago stole them from Honduras or somewhere like that until a few days ago.)

[Francis_Eric]

Oops mound is the correct way to heal over ---> NOT A PIT
The pit was already dug supposed to be to cold straticfy bulk seeds
That's why it was flooded ,and didn't add perlite sand to help drain it.

No way was I dumb enough to put all these trees into pots.

I have dozens of Asimina reticulata growing on my property.  Unfortunately the fruit are pretty small and not that appetizing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwqRCtPaGlA&t=75s
