Companion Planting & Garden Value: Pawpaw

Asimina triloba

Spacing: needs about 16 square feet per plant. Mature height: 15-20 ft.

Pollination

Not self-fertile: a single plant won't reliably set fruit. Self-incompatible: needs two genetically different trees nearby to set fruit at all; a single named variety planted alone, however desirable its fruit, is a common and avoidable mistake. (source)

Plant these nearby

No well-established companions.

Keep these apart

Nothing it needs to be kept away from.
