Experience the tropics with this Pawpaw’s creamy, coconut, and piña colada flavors. The flesh is sweet and yellow-orange. The seeds are freestone in a single, neat row. Petrichor 4 is a true early bloomer, with its seeds consistently being the first to sprout in our greenhouse each year and being an early-ripening variety. The seed was sourced from a Western North Carolina farmer’s market or co-op.
