Paw-paw

The paw paw is the largest edible fruit native to North America. (see here) You can't find the fruit in the store, and I've never seen Paw-paw jelly.   I wonder if the fruit is all that tasty?  The tree is very nice though.

 

Way down yonder in the Paw-Paw patch

Instead of importing bananas, why don't we grow Paw-paws?  They sound delicious.  See here.

It's a pretty little shady tree.

Who remembers the paw-paw song?

Here for the lyrics, here for the song (if you can stand it)
