Re: Tree ID needed
I am not sure, but could it be Paw Paw.....Asimina triloba ( hope that's
right....don't have my books here at home...). Mine are still quite
small but that sure does look like the leaves.
The University of Kentucky has a very good site on this plant, as it is a
east coast native and they are studying it. Sorry I don't have the site
handy but a search will show it.
Good luck.
