Pawpaw trees flowering

Pawpaw is said to be the tropical fruit of the midwest and many are growing wild on the homestead. The fruit is soft and has a very short window of peak ripeness. The ones here taste anywhere from reminiscent of mango to pure sugar sweet.

Looking forward to getting few buckets of this unique treat later this year and trying out pawpaw sheep milk ice cream.
