Found a couple little groves of these while walking my dog. Never ate one before. Only took a few home with me.

I planted 2 pawpaws years ago. They have grown into thickets that bloom every spring but have never produced fruit. I've eaten pawpaws a few times and they are pretty good but they don't have a long shelf life.

Shoot me your address and I’ll send you some. I must have found 50 trees today. I’ll try and get some more fruits in the next few days and I’ll get the seeds out of them and send them out.

Pawpaw are awesome, they make a great smoothie, but like Pat said they don't keep long. 

Also make sure to only eat them raw.  If you cook with them, some kinda chemistry happens and it will turn your stomach!  Saw this first hand when my mom tried Pawpaw bread, lol.

I’ve read that something funny happens with them when try doing anything other than eating them raw. Can’t remember what happened exactly but I’ve read they don’t keep well.
