Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is native to the United States, where it grows naturally in mixed forests. As the only species of the genus Annonaceae, it grows in temperate climates, while other species, such as papaya, require a tropical climate. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for pawpaw plants, especially for hobby cultivation. According to US sources, pawpaw has high nutritional value and anti-cancer properties.
