Will Paw Paw be toxic to garden pond fish?

njbiology
15 years ago

Hi,

Paw Paw is toxic to fish, as proven (unlike most of the internet junk, this one is an actual fact).

Can I plant one 10' from my pond since I have a skimmer; willleaves really have an effect on a 7,000 gallon pond?

Anyone have one near their thriving pond?

Thanks,

Steve
