Asimina parviflora

Asimina parviflora, the smallflower pawpaw, is a small to medium shrub in the custard apple family.

It is native to the Southeastern United States, where it is found from Texas to Virginia.

[2] Asimina parviflora has maroon, fleshy flowers in the spring.

Small-flower pawpaws are found further south than common pawpaws, and form shrubs rather than trees, with most plants ranging in height from one to three feet, with only a few getting taller.

[4] A. parviflora hybridizes readily with A. triloba to form Asimina ×piedmontana.
