Lots of Paw-tential!
It’s bona-fide. The Pawpaw is a comer. It even has a festival! Unlike many other plants, the deer resistant Pawpaw, a member of the Custard- apple Family (Annonaceae), is expanding its range and thriving in wetter, hotter weather. And what’s good for Pawpaws is good for Zebra Swallowtails. Learn more about the life history of the Pawpaw and the stripe-laden butterfly that it benefits.
