I've had my first #pawpaw and because you can't buy them in stores, it's a #homegrown pawpaw.
They are possibly the best #fruit I've ever tasted.

I have 3 trees. Still no fruit, but a neighbor dropped a few off last year AMAZING!!
How do they taste? 😋
Any possible comparison?
The best I can say on the flavor is "tropical". I guess somewhere between a cantaloupe and a pineapple maybe?
The texture is soft, similar to a banana. Skin is similar to a pear. I thought it was fine to eat the skin, opinions on that vary.
We just bought property that has a few paw paw trees bearing fruit. Can’t wait to try them out. They are new to me.
It took 7 years before we got our first fruit. If you haven't mulched around them yet, you should. That seemed to speed things up.
Baloo the bear sings about them in the Junglebook cartoon...
