Asimina reticulata

This flowering shrub is native to flatwoods, sandhills, and coastal areas in Florida. With small white flowers followed by an edible pawpaw fruit with tastes slightly resembling a mango with a bit of banana. Definitely one of the better tasting Florida native pawpaws. There is evidence that eating high quantities of fruit can be unhealthy. Do your own research.

A. reticulata is a small shrub that has a deep taproot, loves our well draining sandy soil, and is adapted to regular fires and long periods of drought. A. reticulata loves full sun but can be grown in dappled light to partial shade. In fact, if transplanting, part shade is preferred to full sun until established.

The netted pawpaw is a larval host for the Zebra swallowtail butterfly and the Pawpaw sphinx moth. The shrub typically grows between 2 and 4 feet but can grow taller. The plant is identified by long taproots, long narrow ovate leaves with a blueish dusty tint, and small fruits. This shrub is one of the first in early spring to flower, often before new leaves flush out, and will make a great addition to any landscape with the right conditions.

Just like everything else we sell, these plants are all organically grown in house. We do not use any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and blend our own potting soil from scratch based on each plant species' needs. Unlike other nurseries, we do not focus on the size of the plant, but rather the condition of the roots. We grow everything with your long-term success in mind, rather than what it will look like "on the shelf"

ALL PLANT ORDERS MUST BE SHIPPED 2 DAYS OR LESS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND.

It is our goal to get your order together as quickly as possible. However, sometimes orders may take over 7 days. Please understand that if you have chosen one of expedited shipping options (ie Next Day Air or 2nd Day Air) this does not affect how long it takes us to prepare your order. This only indicates how long your order will be traveling, once it leaves our facility.

PICKUP ORDERS- pickup orders are usually ready in 1-3 days. If you need it sooner, please feel free to reach out, and we will try and accommodate. For bagged soil pickup orders, please see below.

When your pickup order is ready, we will reach out to you (usually by text), and coordinate a 2 hour pickup appointment window. The time slots available are M-F between 9am and 5pm. After or before hours, or weekend pickups can be arranged, but must be planned at least 2 days in advance. During your pickup appointment, your order will be placed out front under the brown tent, for you to swing by and pick up. Pickup address is 7409 N Highland Ave Tampa, FL 33604

LIVE PLANTS for out of state orders- To be eligible for a refund on live plants, you must choose a shipping option 2 days or faster. We ship Live Plants on out of state orders on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Florida orders of live plants ship Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

If you place your order on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (OUT OF STATE), chances are it will be going out the following Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Florida orders placed Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, will go out the following week. We do this because by those days, we already have plants pulled and staged, and our week scheduled out. We do not ship later in the week, to avoid live plants shipping over the weekends at all costs.

SEED ORDERS- we bag and prepare our seed packets on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Orders with JUST seeds on them, go out on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

BULK SOIL- after your order comes through the system, we will contact you to arrange the soil delivery. PLEASE NOTE... OUR TRAILER OR DUMP TRUCK IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY AND HAS A LIMITED TURNING RADIUS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE WITHIN 1.5 FT OF THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY OR THE DRIVEWAY, OR THE AREA YOU DESIGNATE TO HAVE IT DUMPED. IF YOU HAVE PLANTS, GRASS, ARTIFICIAL TURF, SPRINKLER HEADS, OR ANYTHING ELSE WITHIN 1.5 FT OF THE EDGE, IT COULD BE DAMAGED. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE UNLESS DUE TO GROSS DRIVER NEGLIGENCE. THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE OF YOUR DRIVEWAY (CONCRETE, SHELL, PAVERS, TURF, ETC) AND ANYTHING WITHIN 1.5FT OF THE DRIVE COULD BECOME CRACKED, SPLIT, BROKEN, DEPRESSED, TRACKED, ETC. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE- THESE THINGS COME WITH THE TERRITORY OF GETTING LARGE ITEMS DELIVERED. If the driver shows up and determines that the soil cannot be safely dumped in the location that you would like at the driver's discretion, they can either dump it where the driver feels safe or the soil will not be delivered and you will still get charged the delivery fee. You would however get a refund on the soil.

BAGGED SOIL- we fill our bagged soil orders every Wednesday. If your order comes in after 4pm on Tuesday, it will be filled the following Wednesday. We will reach out to you after your order comes in, to arrange your pickup.

I bought several plants, seeds, soil, fertilizer and an education package. Dave delivered with excellence! Professional and knowledgeable, he helped set up my vegetable garden for the fall/winter, informed me on how to turnover and fertilize the soil for this new season and has been a big help. Even taught me how the sun faces my garden over the day and where best to plant my veggies and herbs to set them up for success. I highly recommend Dave for all your garden needs.

I've placed three orders with Whitwam Organics, and each time the plants arrived in flawless condition. The shipping process is easy, and the packaging is great. Finding a native Florida plant nursery is tough, but Whitwam makes it easy. Highly recommend!

Overall pretty good strawberry roots. I have a couple out of the 25 ordered that haven't quite bounced back from transplant shock, but majority are doing very well and have new growth already. While I mostly know what I'm doing these days, I might recommend adding some transplant instructions with the package, but not a huge deal. I was a bit surprised that the plants had their leaves - most of the time I've seen them trimmed back, but that could be the method for packing the plants for a longer trip duration than a week. Good looking roots though so high hopes!

They are in excellent shape. I’m just pondering where to put them. Thank for the healthy plants. One had a bloom on it when I opened the package. Well packed and only one had soil spilled.

I have bought Strawberry plants from them this year (2024). These are the best of all. Very fresh and healthy with fresh leaves! Not just bare roots. I wish I had known them earlier. I have tried to find a good source for strawberry plants to grow in Florida for years. BTW, my other purchases in the past online turned out to be disasters. Whitwam Organic provides great strawberry plants for Florida growers at a very good price. You will need to order in advance and will receive them in October to start growing at perfect timing. Before shipping, Whitwam Organic sent me a text to inform the shipment. They are very nice and professional. I highly recommend this website, including their products and service provided. Thanks.

Thanks for following up. My Beautyberries arrived well-packaged and no damage. They are tiny now but I hope they will be bigger and stronger for the outdoor in the Spring. Right now the leaves are yellowish and I hope that is from etiolation during shipment. They are now in bigger pots and sitting on a south window for natural light and grow lights during these short daylight periods. I am hoping for the best.

Hello, I received the tomato plants and planted them the next day. I went out to see them the next day and they looked like they grew inches bigger. The pictures enclosed are ones I took this morning to send them to you. I am beyond thankful for these beautiful tomatoes 🍅 I can't wait to taste them. Thanks again, Carol Weber

Bare root strawberry plants arrived looking great and healthy. Got them Planted the next day and by the weekend new growth was showing on all plants. No bad plants out of 4 bunched. Very pleased and will be ordering more in the future.

Ordered a few packs of bare root strawberries from Whitwam. they were ready to ship right after Fl got hit by Hurricane Milton and the company took the time to reach out to ensure we were ok and if my garden had survived and was ready for the strawberries. This meant so much after such an uncertain time. After given the ok, the strawberries were shipped and arrived extremely fast, well packed and healthy. Can’t wait to try the fruit
