Pawpaw: America’s Forgotten Fruit

Author, gardener, and lecturer Andy Moore gave an enlightening program on March 16, 2022, on an unusual and very unique tropical-like fruit that is native to eastern U.S. and southern Canada, the pawpaw, Asimina triloba. The pawpaw, which tastes like a cross between a banana, mango, and pineapple, was a favorite of Native Americans and was also very popular among the colonists settling this country. Why did the tasty pawpaw never become commercially viable? Learn all this and more in these audio clips with Andy Moore. You can also learn more from his book Pawpaw: America’s Forgotten Fruit.
