Public service for paw-paws

 

I've seen a couple of recent articles about the wild fruit named the paw-paw.  For your personal paw-paw perusal, here they are.


Pawpaws are America’s hidden edible treasure. Here’s how to pick them.


The revival of a forgotten American fruit

From the latter:

"The pawpaw is in the same family as the custard apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, soursop and ylang-ylang. It's a subtropical fruit that migrated north from Central America, and it is atypical; the only member of the family not confined to the tropics."

You won't find them in stores, because they have a really short shelf life.  But you can find them if you want them, and there's some even nearby me.  So I may have to take a road trip to the paw-paw patch.
