- This page refers to the U.S. pawpaw in the genus Asimina. In the rest of the world, the name pawpaw is applied to the unrelated tropical fruit papaya (Carica papaya).
Pawpaw (Asimina) also known as a prairie banana, Kentucky banana, or Ozark banana, is a genus of eight or nine species of small trees with large leaves and fruit, native to southeastern North America. The genus includes the largest edible fruit native to North America. They are understorey trees of deep fertile bottomland soils. The name, also spelled paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw, probably derives from the Spanish papaya, perhaps due to the superficial similarity of their fruit. Pawpaw is in the same family Annonaceae as the custard-apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, and soursop, and it is the only member of that family not confined to the tropics.
