Peterson has three new varieties!

19 years ago

Allegheny

Key Features of the Allegheny pawpaw:

Medium fleshiness. Percent seed ~ 8% by weight.

Flavor sweet, rich, a hint of citrus. Texture medium firm, smooth. Flesh color yellow.

Fruit size typically less than 8 oz. Very productive to the point that fruit size suffers.

Trees will require fruit thinning to keep fruit size over 8 oz.

This has been a continual favorite of those who taste it.

Potomac

Key Features of the Potomac pawpaw:

Extremely fleshy. Percent seed ~ 4% by weight.

Flavor sweet and rich. Texture firm, melting, smooth. Flesh color medium yellow.

Fruit size typically 12+ oz. Medium productivity.

Strong apical dominance - ie, the tree grows very upright, is less spreading than most.

The overall fruit quality on this variety is impressive

Wabash

Key Features of the Wabash pawpaw:

Very fleshy. Percent seed ~ 6% by weight.

Flavor sweet and rich. Texture medium firm, creamy, smooth. Flesh color yellow to orangish.

Fruit size typically 8-12 oz. Good productivity.

The overall fruit quality and quantity on this variety is excellent.

A favorite of those who have tasted it at the KSU orchard.

Unfortunately the website also states that they are already totally sold out of all stocks for this and next year (2008).
