My friend and colleague Kim Steiner shared a paw paw fruit with me the other day. This is my first experience with Asimina Triloba! Kim has grown a paw paw from seed in his backyard—having acquired that seed from a local stand of paw paw near Lewistown.
The sweet smell of the fruit and the taste of the “custard” is just an amazing experience. If you’ve not had the privilege of experiencing this rare gem of the Appalachians, don’t delay!
