Pawpaws
Taylor Pawpaw
✓ VerifiedUnited States
Taylor is named after Lee Taylor, horticulture professor emeritus at Michigan State University, and — along with the closely related Taytwo, also documented in this database — is specifically well regarded for reliable propagation and performance in Michigan's cooler growing climate. The fruit is small, with yellow flesh and green skin, and a mild but genuinely excellent flavor.
