Paw Paw varieties taste
« on: March 08, 2025, 01:20:57 AM »
Hi everyone,

I started thinking about getting paw paw and i don’t know which variety to get, i reasercjed on ther forums and got even more confused since everyone likes different varieties.

For me, I would like one with strong banana, vanilla and crème brûlée. I was thinking about shenandoah for this but i heard it’s really bland, and I do want to actually taste flavours when eating fruits, but maybe you don’t thiks it’s that bland and it’s fine (if this is what you think please tell me)

And for the second one, I want a really tropical one, that tastes like mango, pineapple or even coconut.

It is really important the the two varieties you will recommend can pollinate eachother if they are the only one in the backyard.

As for texture, I am looking for a really mushy either custardy texture either exactly like banan puree

I don’t want to go risky and get varieties with aftertaste, so please try to avoid those.

Thank you all in advance!

I grafted some with these flavor profiles, but not sure about aftertaste. I haven't had the fruit yet so can't confirm but I selected the scions based on those flavors.
