I Have Become Radicalized As A Pawpaw Agent, Pollinate A Flower Or Two On Your Local Tree!

pawpaw is a native fruit tree of eastern north america the IL/WI has been considered a northern range edge but that's changing Pawpaws have historically & continue to move around because people like pawpaws and pawpaws like people the fruit pawpaw is a sweet treat, like a banana in the shape of a mango depending on the ripeness and variety, pawpaws taste like banana, custard, caramel, melon, mango You can eat them as: bread, ice cream, jam, curd, and straight up Left to their own devices, pawpaws form thickets that don't make much, if any, pawpaw fruit each fall a helping hand with spring pawpaw flower pollination helps guarantee a better fall harvest

i have become radicalized as a pawpaw agent, pollinate a flower or two on your local tree!

More isolated, further north = less likely to be self-pollinated. You need different genetics around and enough awake pollinators to make sure you get fall fruit, so lend a helping hand
