Pawpaws are the only native American tropical fruit. They look like big green potatoes, have large seeds, and yellow orange pulp and the first and every time I have tasted one it is the most wonderful thing I have every consumed. The flavor is like a creamy mango/banana flavor. The trees are attractive, have long large leaves and a wine colored flower I took a quick pic of the growth cycle that I put together and hung in my office. Domesticated varieties like mine have much smaller seeds and more pulp. The Ohio pawpaw growers have a nice facebook page.

I would seek out info on that. They like a lot of moisture and do well about 50 feet from a creek or river. They have very long taproots. I would try and find someone in Texas who has been successful.

Be still my heart! Those appetizers look awesome, too! I cannot WAIT for home grown radishes and that first ‘Radish Sandwich. Dark rye, butter, sliced radishes, salt and sprouts.
I used to grow ‘Munchner Bier Radish’ for my Grandpa. They are VERY pungent, but we would slice them thinly and eat them on buttered dark rye bread with lots of salt and wash it all down with a beer - even IF it had to be an ‘American’ brand. ;)
I miss that guy! :)

What’s weird is they point downwards. And bees don’t pollinate only bumble bees, so each year I use a paintbrush and pollinate.

Learned that from my German Grandma, though it IS considered quite ‘chi-chi’ these days. Probably from a time in early Spring when there was nothing for her to eat BUT radishes. ;)
