Quite a collection of musicians on that album
Yes, but the Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch was also an actual guy.
I went out to the way back, and scouted around for a while. Didn’t find any pawpaw trees, darn it! I have an app that helps identify trees, birds, animals, insects, etc. and all it showed up was ash among the tulip trees, the hickories, the maples, and buckeye trees. So unless pawpaws are related to ash, I didn’t see any, and certainly found nothing with fruit on it.
I did find some beautiful Great Blue Lobelia on my way to the creek, and I think I’m going to see if I can dig up a few of them and transplant them closer to my house in a wildflower garden that I have. That will make the little journey I took very worthwhile.

Awesome! We have 4 very mature trees that have borne fruit for 5 years now. We are in west Michigan. Also have two young trees coming up. My first taste of a pawpaw was over 20 years ago and I still think it is the most wonderful fruit I have ever eaten.
Frozen fruit pulp will last one year frozen.

Interesting thread; thanks for reposting it.
Let me see if Central Market carries the fruit.
Spread the word, er, I mean the seeds!...............
“ In fact south of me there is a small town- Paw Paw, Illinois.”
I’ve seen them growing wild in a couple of the DuPage Forest Preserves but I never knew what they were until now.

Me too. I had heard of them, but I had no idea what or where they were.
