Pawpaw tree named ‘Wansevwan’

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct variety of pawpaw tree, which has been given the name ‘Wansevwan.’ This variety is distinguished by good yields, atypical of pawpaw, and by its excellent fruit quality. Fruit are large with a low seed-to-fruit ratio, and possess the finest flavor found in pawpaws to date. The texture is melting, yet firmer than average which may help in shipping and handling. The number of fruit per cluster is low, often in singles, which simplifies harvesting. This variety is one of three varieties newly identified as having potential to establish a commercial pawpaw industry.

I claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of pawpaw tree obtained as an open-pollinated seedling of ‘Overleese’ (unpatented), substantially as shown and described herein.
