Paw Paw

(Asimina triloba) Paw Paws are an interesting tree that's now being revived. Peeling the fruit's green skin reveals a mango-banana flavored custard.  They should grow well in this region, and ours are coming along nicely. The biggest issue so far is our mower... we accidentally mowed right over one of the seedlings. Ouch!
