pawpaw
rec.gardens.edible
pawpaw fruit with blackened surface There is a pawpaw tree here with fruit whose skin turns partially black around June. (N. America, Ohio valley) The coating looks like some sort of fungus or similiar creature. Anyone know what causes such blackening and how to avoid it? Another question concerning a different pawpaw tree about a half mile distant: Early this year the tree looked as if it was going to produce about a million fruits. Nearly every flower had generated from 3 to 5 fruits, each from 1/4 to 1/2 half inch long. When I checked again, 2 weeks later, not a one of those tiny fruits had survived. Any idea why? Hul |

I've never seen a paw paw tree here in SE Texas but my Dad, raised in Louisiana, used to give the paw paw trees high kudos for good eats. Hope this helps. |

Thanks George, I'll take a look. I agree with your father's judgement.
