Climate Jenny 2.1Pawpaw news! Here you see the first harvest of a Pawpaw tree (North America’s largest native fruit) I planted almost a decade ago.
Sitting in the bowl, they were almost *overpoweringly* aromatic, and the scent was sweet. Processed, they yielded three cups of pulp and a lot of seeds. The pulp went into two loaves of sweetbread.
And that’s it for this year!
Stay tuned for my Ted Talk about why you should grow your own and not forage native plants.

Rich Stein (he/him)Can confirm that #pawpaws harvested in September look terrible but taste great at the end of December. Clearly, however, not ready for commercial prime time yet. (Hint: Keep 'em cold — in the refrigerator — and check them every week or so to make sure they don't develop mold.)

CelloMom On Cars"#Pawpaws are North America’s largest native fruit — and are exceedingly rare, found mainly in the wild across 26 states or in small orchards in Appalachia, where the trees have historically thrived. Praised for their flavor, which is sometimes described as a cross between a mango and banana, the custard-like fruit is an ideal spoonable dessert.
And they could be small farms’ hedge against #ClimateChange in a fast-warming world."

MicronH⚖️😷@redcrew also, raw pawpaws are messy to eat, they contain large seeds and bitter skin—nonetheless they are delightful!

sultmhoor@ytetic aah, quite probably. From what I understand, many nurseries don't bother because even though they're quite hardy, much more than a year and the taproot gets to be 4-5' which is impossible to keep in a pot or dig up from growing them in the ground. I've gotten new saplings and had no success even from reputable nurseries. Partly because the damn deer mowed them down literally in the time it took me to go from where they were planted to the garage to make the chickenwire cages. The one that survived grew a couple of leaves but didn't survive the next winter. So, I figure it's time to try cold stratifying seeds and being more proactive about protecting them. My yard seems ideal for them - they are great understory trees and I have big trees on my property.
fwiw, I want them mostly for the foliage, and the fruit would just be a bonus...
