I've only tasted one Paw Paw, and it was not the best variety, but it immediately won me over....to me it taste like a pudding, custard, dessert, maybe with banana, and some other delicious ingredients.
I bet the native Americans knew where all the best trees were, and had some fierce battles over the paw paw patches!
These things must have been like nature's version of Crème brûlée on a stick...
I'm going to be planting some grafted trees in about a week. There are some varieties selected for FL (zone 9a)...I'm curious to see how they perform in my grove.
