Gorgeous styling and photography, Lindsay! I think the smell of fresh papayas must be forgotten once your eyes pick up on the color of these sweet smoothies. I just adore raspberry anything. Just lovely, my dear! Pinning (of course)!

In my research I discovered that it was an important source of food for the Native Americans and early settlers and that is was a popular tree on farms though out the US (Lewis and Clark wrote that they were quite fond of them as was Jefferson). It lost popularity in the last 75 years as produce began to be shipped. These potato looking fruits bruise easily and are not the most attractive looking specimen. Apparently there area lots of old farm cookbooks that have recipes. The good news is that there is a small cult following of pawpaws. There is even an annual festival in Ohio every year. I found this interesting article which includes a recipe for PawPaw Ice Cream. I think I will be making some later this summer!

What is your earliest memory in the garden? Probably working for my dad, following him around the vegetable garden when he would plow. I also remember my mother working in her flower beds. I grew up around gardening and I have always loved it.

It is probably my favorite plant every month of the year. Certainly in August and September because I begin to harvest ripe fruit from the middle of August onward and through September. I really look forward to pawpaw season.

Cooperative Extension Area agent Craig Mauney and myself worked together to plan the first pawpaw event that was held in either 2008 or 2009 at the Tanglewood Arboretum. Even though it was raining cats and dogs, over 80 people showed up and we held the event inside of the greenhouse. Since then we have continued to receive strong public support, hosting for several years at the Carolina Classic Fairgrounds and for a few years it was held in a park in Lewisville. For the last few years, the event has been held at our office. Agents Mary Jac Brennan and Celine Richard have both done stellar jobs. Here we have a kitchen, auditoriums, room for parking and the pawpaw orchard which will be open for tours.

There was a young man from Cleveland, Ohio who flew down with his son to Raleigh and rented a car to drive here for the pawpaw event. That devotion blew my mind. Last year, a guy from upstate New York drove down in his car and spent the night in our parking lot to attend the pawpaw field day. People come out of the woodwork for pawpaws. There is something special about pawpaws that draws people.

It looks like a green mango. Pawpaws stay green when ripe. Some varieties show a little yellowing. As they age they present dark spots like bananas. Some people prefer to wait until the skin is mostly black. The pawpaws change in flavor like a banana, sweeter the more they ripen. When you cut into it, the fruit is similar to its tropical relatives like cherimoya and guanabana. There are large lima bean sized and shaped seeds inside, anywhere from 3-13, depending on the size of the fruit. The flesh is usually a pretty golden yellow, but there are a few varieties that are considered white or pale yellow. Most varieties are a cheerful golden yellow.

I am always surprised to find that no animals will consume the pawpaw seed. There is really only a very insanely small number of seeds that animals or insects will not eat. I often viewed my nursery seed beds as the most valuable portion of my nursery as well as the most expensive buffet of wildlife food all at once. I always look for nibbling or chunks missing out of pawpaw seeds that I miss when harvesting my fruit. Sometimes I will see the seeds on the ground completely cleaned of fruit yet no one touches the seed. There they sit every spring clean as a whistle. They look like giant brown lima beans staring up at me. Sometimes they get buried under leaves or deer push them into the ground with their hooves. That is where the magic begins-new plants are established. I got inspired by this method and began direct seeding into a woodland with very good results. No one dug up the seeds and they never got eaten so the tree percentage was above 90 percent. In the woods, it took longer for them to fruit from seed than if they were out in an open field. But one plant fruited when it was 4 years old. But most took 10 years from seed in a less cultivated forest type scenario. I like the pawpaw and the fruits are a wonderful treat in the fall. I love to eat nothing but pawpaw fruit for lunch. I am sure if you had wild plantings people would stop in the fall to collect and eat the fruit if only once. I would probably guerilla style plant these but all these public places I know of love herbicides too much to risk it. But I did find a public park where they do not spray so I may give it a shot this fall and carry the seed with me. It is easy to do and requires only a small slit in the soft forest soil about 2-3 inches deep or so in the fall prior to snow if possible. I would likely create a row of them to make it look more apparent they were planted by someone which may aid in their care. I would love to plant them in nearby land conservancy held lands but that is strictly forbidden. Plus they love the herbicides and burning. Likely they would not survive long in managed landscapes either as it all about removing the understory plants. It is kind of too bad as they thrive under autumn olive and multiflora rose.

Seeds of the pawpaw are one of those perishable species that break down easily even in refrigeration. So it is best to start fresh every year. For me, I use a Dybvig processor and do a couple of passes about a week apart to remove even the teeniest pieces of fruit to prevent the start of decay. As they are pulped I put the seeds directly in refrigeration. I may remove them about a month in and clean them again to make sure no mold will form during dormancy under refrigeration. The temperatures are between 34F to 43F. I keep a maximum minimum thermometer to note any changes.

When you buy pawpaw seeds from my farm, they are harvested, processed and then kept moist. This was an issue for a long time by the seed and gardening community which was unaware of this requirement. Many on line sources did not know this and treated the seeds like cherry pits putting them in paper envelopes. Even for a few days, leaving the seeds out to air dry will destroy the seed as they break down quickly. Now I have noticed many pawpaw Facebook groups that understand this and let people know of these requirements along with the 50 percent shade over the seedlings the first year. This has greatly increased the use of propagation from seed pawpaws and of course everyone is PM ing everyone in these groups with their seed offers. This is a good way to distribute the seeds of a plant and of course the means to grow it successfully. I like that a lot.

All of my pawpaw seeds are harvested from the many trees at my farm. Some of the newer ones this year are from a group I found 30 years ago along a roadside near a public park. They were smaller fruited but super heavy in production. The seedlings from this group had very dense solid clusters of fruits in groups of three or more. The flavor was good as well. This appeared in the seedlings at the farm as well. Another selection is from a large fruited type near the Mississippi River that someone gave me seed of. To name a pawpaw variety is a bit of a challenge for me in that the seed count plays a role in the fruit as well as the flavor. Flavor in particular is a very subtle thing and it is hard to compare for me. Some new clonal selections will likely be named this year. After collecting many wild pawpaws in southwestern Michigan, having high yields is a priority for me more important than a certain flavor profile and seed count. With that in mind, I should be able to find a few plants worthy of naming and cloning for future orchards. But I am not in a rush and want to have something that everyone will enjoy eating. Seeds available in 500, 1000 and 5000 quantities.

Ive done some online searching and found a few decent looking recipes for different baked goods with Pawpaws, but would rather try known firsthand good ones :) Pawpaw season is here and I am getting tired of just eating the fruit (scandalous I know!). I love pawpaws I just get tired of the flavor after eating so many over such a short time frame so I would like to bake!

I also made PawPaw macarons; the filling has pawpaw (see frosting recipe) and the macaron is just vanilla (dyed in a orange yellow swirl because thats the pawpaw flesh color. I meant to dye the icing too, but forgot). This is my absolute fav so far. I had leftover icing so will be making a cake later xD

The macarons? Awesome. And i dont get sick on them. But its fresh pawpaw in the filling. And i ate a pawpaw fine. Ate another cookie and it was more bitter and soapy than i remember, and I got sick. So yeah. Weird. Def a cooked/baked issue.

Yes!! I love the chemistry of baking, lately been making various French things and I feel like its all the same four ingredients combined in different orders & fashions, haha! But they produce very different things!

This wonderful new book is inspiring and appetizing, practical and beautiful. About 150 pages of glorious photos, technical details, mouthwatering recipes, and anything else you might need to start growing pawpaws or to make better use of wild pawpaws on neglected trees nearby. Here you can learn the reasons to plant named cultivars that have been selected for size, flavor, and high yields. e24fc04721
