Common Name: Pawpaw
Parental Cross:
Geographic Origin: Terre Haute, Indiana
Finder/Creator: Jerry Lehman
Known Sources: Cliff England, Peaceful Heritage
Alternative Names: 166-66, Canary
Notes: Produces small to average size fruits; however, they are very sweet and a pleasingly yellow skin making it easier to determine if nearly ripe. It is an open pollinated seedling of Davis x Prolific. Due to its location, the pollen parent of these seeds is also likely another Davis x Prolific cross. Therefore these seeds are likely inbred, but inbreeding depression doesn’t seem to be a problem in Asimina triloba, pawpaw. 166-66 is one of the first to drop above average size fruits, that are green/yellow when ripe, are sweet, and have an excellent taste.
