In all of the years of my childhood, spending every full summer and a lot of fall weekends, walking the farm property, the woods for squirrels with dad, walking the creek beds, up and down our trails from our summer place down to the creek and all over tree land, including old forgotten cemeteries.....I swear, I have never ever seen a pawpaw tree or the fruit. Great grandma surely would have had the men folk pick some for her if there was any around. I always thought 'down yonder in the pawpaw patch' was just a song. I'll have to ask my dad now if he's ever seen any.
Very neat! I'd like to find a few of these for my Native Garden - well, wildlife garden. You wouldn't happen to have any recipes for a later video, would you? I suppose you might could substitute bananas with these for a Pawpaw Pudding... Thanks for sharing information about this wild tree!
Kevin, can you provide some hotspots that I can find paw paw fruits? I'm not a Missouri resident and I'm curious to find some to see what they taste like. Thanks, in advanced.
In Missouri, pawpaws grow in dense shade on moist lower slopes, ravines, valleys, along streams, and at the base of wooded bluffs. They fruit in Sept-Oct. You can find more info at: mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/pawpaw
I have HUNDREDS of pawpaws on my 40 acre property, and in 10 years only ONE TREE produced fruit that I was able to see and pick. Even then it was only 2 pawpaws. Help! Are the wild animals eating everything before I can find them? Is there any way to protect the trees from pests?
Great Video. Thank You.

if you are in the KC area there are some in parkville MO. I just found some for the first time last week! Just waiting on them to rippen.

My grandfather always takes me pawpaw hunting with him.
Awesome content!!
We were introduced to the pawpaw last year in the Shawnee Forest . Have those seeds to plant. This week hunting for some in the Ozarks.

I made wine with these last year and it turned out pretty good, I think we might try and make whiskey with it this year

I believe the flowers must be pollinated in order for the fruit to develop.
Thanks!
I found a paw paw patch this year but no fruits yet, I'm excited for the coming years
What do they taste like?
I hear it is a cross between a banana and mango.
Custard texture. Sweet
@@johnadams1241 def mango but to me more like mango + apple
