The owner said they even grow in Canada. I didn't see the trees but was told even most Yankees don't know what they are but many do. So I'm hoping to get the seeds to sprout maybe get a bush or tree whatever grows here in Conyers. I have heard of paw paws all my life heard the song, but never seen them till last year. They are good Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181423847421229926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-7958630483132186162016-05-02T21:37:47.097-04:002016-05-02T21:37:47.097-04:00We love it!

And hardly anyone knows of it! I will have to see if Ranger Robby will give a talk about native fruit trees and let you know!<br />Here's an idea, I will ask Lee to visit me from Australia and YOU can come from Germany and we will walk in the Autumn here at Stone Mountain and Panola and we will eat the fruit from the pawpaw and you will tell me how much they are like the papaya that you know! There, that is a good idea, isn't it?<br />:-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-36879741060688408362016-04-28T12:32:24.180-04:002016-04-28T12:32:24.180-04:00Hello Kay, because it was mentioned in a comment h...Hello Kay, because it was mentioned in a comment here that pawpaw is the same as papaya (a fruit I DO know), I've looked it up. Wikipedia says this:<br /><br />"The common name of this species is variously spelled pawpaw, paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw. It probably derives from the Spanish papaya, an American tropical fruit (Carica papaya) sometimes also called "papaw", perhaps because of the superficial similarity of their fruits.(In some parts of the world, such as Australia and New Zealand,the name Paw Paw is commonly used for a variety of Papaya.) <br />Asimina triloba has had numerous local common names including: wild banana, prairie banana, Indiana banana, Hoosier banana, West Virginia banana, Kansas banana, Kentucky banana, Michigan banana, Missouri banana, the poor man’s banana, Ozark banana, and banango."Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-59001143463310242712016-04-28T10:17:00.491-04:002016-04-28T10:17:00.491-04:00For the ultimate bit of fun you should get a pawpa...For the ultimate bit of fun you should get a pawpaw fruit for your dad.
