Definition
A genus of North American shrubs and trees of the custard apple family, commonly known as pawpaw plants, which produce edible fruit.
Etymology
From Powhatan Algonquian 'aposomin' (the pawpaw fruit), adopted into Latinized botanical nomenclature. The scientific genus name preserves the Indigenous American origin of the plant's common name.
Kelly Says
The pawpaw is North America's largest native fruit, yet most Americans have never heard of it! The word 'asimina' preserves a Powhatan word from Virginia—it's a linguistic link to Indigenous knowledge about native plants. Thomas Jefferson grew pawpaws at Monticello.
