Years ago, my grandfather told me about Pawpaw fruits and said that when he was a kid in MS he would find them in the woods, growing native. It took me a while, but I finally tracked them down and bought several varieties. He said he hasn’t had one since he was a kid, and I’m hoping my trees bare fruit before he goes. I just had to watch because this is a sentimental fruit to me.

When I was a kid, my grandmother would harvest pawpaws every year. She would keep them wrapped up in an apron to preserve them. I got to taste them a few times but I believe she was saving them for herself. I always thought that they tasted like wild pears. I don't recall her ever making anything out of them. She was always making cobblers, mostly blackberry, so you would think that she would have made a pawpaw cobbler but she didn't. My guess is that pawpaws didn't hold up well to the cooking process. I miss my grandmother, she was the kindest person I've known in all my 68 years.

Pretty small, but still tasty. Very mild, sweet flavor, kind of like a custard or a sorbet. I've since learned that PawPaws aren't pollinated by bees, but flies, so leaving some meat or fish to rot at the base of the trunk to attract flies can help improve fruit yield on less established trees. Also bought another tree of a slightly different variety to help expand the PawPaw patch.

Seeing this video a month late, and I've read as many comments as I could so I hope this is still useful info. I'm a chef who uses these quite a bit in my restaurant. They grow prolifically in Missouri and I've seen them as far West as Oklahoma. Check down in the creek beds and watch for their easily identifiable leaf. You know they are ready when you walk through the woods and smell their intensely strong fragrance. You can smell the alcohol of the fermentation everywhere! We harvest hundreds of pounds and then push the puree through a sieve and vacuum pack the puree for use throughout the year. Just as they have a short harvesting life, once opened the flesh oxidizes very quickly so getting it away from air is crucial. One cooking tip - everyone does ice cream and bread (ala zucchini bread), but I think its better used in savory applications. My favorite is to use it in molé where many recipes would use a banana or plantain, the pawpaw adds really unique and interesting sweetness to the smoky, earthy, peppery molé sauces.

@luigi5890 5 лет назад

I have a important suggestion, if you plan to grow Paw Paw's, for good pollination get at least two trees from different suppliers, and the seeds from more than one source.

@erikjohnson9223 3 года назад

You can use the same supplier, just get different varieties. Also, it helps to plant them close together, since flies aren't as industrious as bees.

My parents (in Ohio) had a wild pawpaw tree. In the fall of the year, I would walk through the woods on my way home from school and shake the tree. If one were to drop, I would eat it. Ours were more yellow than green. I felt the smell kind of "takes your breath away"--a little "out of breath" feeling. I absolutely loved that! I've lived in Taiwan for the last 22 years. 15 years ago I visited them and it didn't take me long to go look at the pawpaw tree. It was September and too early for fruit. I'll visit next summer for my Mom's 80th birthday and I'll, of course, go find that tree. Ohio is interesting that there are pawpaw trees (nearly tropical) and also my grandpa brought back a larch tree from Canada when he was young and we had that too. That's about as far south as you can grow a larch, I think. Great video, Emmy!!!!!

I learned about this fruit last September on my first trip to JAPAN! My wife an I tasted it on a little street market in Takayama. We loved the exotic flavor so much, that we kept the seeds hoping we could grow them by ourselves (in Israel). I then found out, that this fruit is of American origin which was really surprising, considering the exotic flavor. I found it really funny now, that you - a native Japanese living in America - just had a very similar experience! I wish you many more enjoyable Pawpaws!

I planted 2 of these (you need 2 for fruit) early this year. They are native to my area but are becoming scarce due to urbanization. They don't transplant well once they are over a foot tall and need shade until they get bigger. FYI for those that want to try growing them. If mine make it through this winter they should be fine.

There is a town in West Virginia named Paw Paw, near the eastern panhandle. Paw paw bushes grow wild near the C & O Canal. Deer, bear, and other wildlife love them. They are an understory shrub, and like moist soil near streams. There are now a few nursery growers who sell plants. Most varieties require another variety planted nearby for pollination. I get a few from a local farm in Berryville, Virginia every year, but the season is very short and they are not plentiful. Thanks for bringing attention to this excellent native American fruit!

Pawpaws grow naturally here in Indiana! I grew up picking them in the woods behind my grandpa’s house. The hardest part was getting them picked before the raccoons got to them! The growing season was so short, and a tree didn’t put out too much fruit, so as soon as we suspected they were ripe, we’d start looking for them in order to beat the animals in the woods. All that made the pawpaws seem that much tastier when we finally found one. ❤️

Maypops are also called passion flowers. If you live in the area where they grow wild, you might live near a grocery called Publix. In the spring, they have assorted cultivated container plants...and I've seen passion flower vines in that assortment. Since they only bloom in the spring, you might keep your eyes out for these when that grocery puts out their spring ornamentals. Look for them around the same time as tomato offerings.

We had pawpaws growing in the woods behind our house growing up (southwest Missouri). I thought about trying them but never knew when they were ripe exactly. I kind of would watch them in the fall some years to look for some change in color to indicate ripeness but never noticed it. I never thought about black spots meaning it was ripe. But I just assumed the taste wasn't that great since no one I knew seemed too interrested in them. People knew they were edible, but didn't pick them. The raccons loved them I'm sure.
