But you don't need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw Have I given you a clue?

But if you prick a raw paw, next time beware!

So lucky. I have maybe 4 trees that are producing fruit, but this is their first year, so I only have like 8.

NC. Going to go hunting for them this week. The extra hot weather must have boosted their ripening

I planted a couple saplings in the spring, and they finally starting growing leaves a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to see them fully grown with fruit

I was curious to try paw paws that I paid $25 to have four of them shipped to Arizona. I loved them, they tasted so tropical. However, they didn't agree with my stomach. If I remember correctly, they gave me diarrhea. (I didn't eat them all at once.)

Ah, that's a bummer about them not agreeing with you!
