Papaw leaf


Greenbo Lake State Resort Park

During a recent hike, we located a small patch of Pawpaw trees that are becoming more and more scarce in our area. If you have never eaten the fruit of a pawpaw tree then the best way to describe it would be to think of an overripe banana. In fact, according to Wikipedia, it is sometimes referred to as a Kentucky banana. I would love to own a tree but they are slow growing and the deer and squirrels probably would never give me my share anyway. Wikipedia has more information on the pawpaw.
