Easy as Paw Paw Pie

Apply an all purpose organic fertilizer several times in the growing season. Water regularly, but make sure it doesn’t have wet feet. Pests and disease are a non-factor, especially if the tree is not crowded. And while the Paw Paw may look tropical, it has the hardiness of a tough Northern tree.
