Rare fruit

[Anonymous No.19428188]

Anybody ever try paw paw fruit? How about a cashew apple. I recently heard that chilled paw paw fruit was George Washingtons favorite desert. I guess they cant stand up to our modern shipping, grocery system

Pawpaw are tasty as fuck but only when they're ripe

Tastes like a cross between a mongo/jackfruit with banana

Now if I see you in my public hunting grounds picking pawpaws I'm gonna slide a knife through your abdomen

Just looked it up and nah. Cashew apple looks nifty, tho. Hopefully tastes better than rose apples cuz they suck. Tastes like someone sprinkled cumin on a sour carambola.

They can’t stand up to any grocery shipping or greenhouse treatment actually, to the point that it baffles horticulturists and food scientists. It’s as though the Paw Paw refuses to exist outside of its niche biome under any circumstances.

Maybe theres something unique about the soil conditions where they grow

[Anonymous No.19428370]

Look into Niel or Neal (Neil?) Peterson. idk if he's still alive, but he's been cultivating and selectively. breeding pawpaw since the 1980s and has singlehandedly trademarked a half dozen varieties. Never met the guy but a Friend at my Meeting knows (knew?) him and told me about him as an example of a good Quaker.
>"he's doing this amazing thing, planting tens of thousands of trees on his own and cultivating more and more varieties in the hopes that some day, everyone will get to try this fantastic fruit and his name will likely be forgotten, which is as it should be since we should live our lives to better those of others"

Well that’s what a lot of them are trying to figure out. Why specifically does it die EVERYWHERE else?

In the wilds here, I find them growing exclusively along riversides with loose sandy loam and no where else. Planted a few in the yard and they took just fine, on a dry clay slope. The trees planted near a creek simply dropped dead. I thought they liked water? Confusing little bastards

OP here. Im in Iowa and live out in the sticks with different types of soil and a creek. Where are you at? Ive done some research and they say raccoons are a problem, I can fence them off I guess. Also you need a few to get them to cross polinate and fruit. Is the fruit good?

Australians inexplicably call papaya "pawpaw." So that's likely what this dumb cunt thinks the thread is about.

Maybe they have a symbiotic relationshion with a specific family of fungi/insect in the soil.

Surely they can just breed it so the amount of it in the fruit is lower

Just be sure to eat them when ripe, or it will burn the fuck out of your mouth with the caustic substances in the unripe fruit

Living in Gambia I've had quite a few cashew fruits,that's what your talking about right? The fruit where the nut comes from?

They're really fucking juicy, sweet, but bitter at the same time.

I don't really like them, first bite makes it seem like you like it, but 2nd isn't too good.

I've planted small flower pawpaw, Asimina parviflora, since I figure those will do better in pots on my apartment balcony than A. triloba, which will grow to be a 30 foot tree. My dad's got a couple of cultivars planted, plus several dozen seedlings he sprouted from seeds I gave him from wild fruit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba#Name
>The common name of this species is variously spelled pawpaw, paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw. It probably derives from the Spanish papaya, an American tropical and subtropical fruit (Carica papaya) sometimes also called "papaw",[16] perhaps because of the superficial similarity of their fruits and the fact that both have very large leaves. The name pawpaw or papaw, first recorded in print in English in 1598, originally meant the giant herb Carica papaya or its fruit (as it still commonly does in many English-speaking communities, including Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa).

Small flower pawpaw fruit, for comparison.

>Is the fruit good?
The fruit is creamy and sweet, with little to no fiber. If you've had any other custard apple fruit (cherimoya, atemoya, sweetsop, soursop, etc.) they taste similar. Exact flavor varies between cultivars and wild plants, but I've heard everything from canteloupe to grapes to bubble gum to mango, banana, and pineapple. I think they can have a bit of an herbal taste to them, sometimes. They make a pretty damn good ice cream.

I have quite a few paw paws on my property, and I sometimes find coyote poop with the seeds in it, but I never actually see the trees produce any fruit. I feel like I'm just crazy or something. Maybe it's just the trees close to my house not producing fruit and the coyotes are getting them elsewhere.

There used to a be a market that had a lot of southeast Asians and south Americans selling produce from their countries that they grow here (central FL). I know someone that used to do these tours where he'd just take you around and tell you what the fruit, veggie, or herb was, when it was ripe, and how to use it along with buying some and slicing it up to try. Love egg fruit, chocolate sapote, and custard apple. The market closed down though and I haven't found anyone around where I live now selling these. I might be too far north now since I'm on the edge of north fl. I've actually never tried paw paw but I'm sure if I tried I could locate some since I know it's not super rare.

Been curious to try it, they don't grow in southeast Texas
I heard that on the last week of Lewis and Clark's expedition, they ran out of food and had to live off pawpaws as made their way back

That's nice, dear, but it doesn't make sense since pawpaws grow in fucking Canada for fuck's sake and don't like hot climates, becoming increasingly uncommon the further south you go, pretty much stopping altogether by the time you get to the FL/GA state line ergo, I find your whole story sus af and can only guess that your are George Santos and are simply lying for lying's sake, you lying liar who lies.

I didn't say I could locate them in FL. I travel to other states a few times a year. I just said I haven't found the tropical fruits I used to eat.
