What is a Paw Paw?
— Tom Hoffman · Sep 15, 03:19 PM · #
A Paw Paw is a native Eastern North American tree that produces large, tasty fruit during the latter half of October. The fruit is soft like custard, and tastes like a mango doing an impression of a banana at a Caribbean island resort.
Sadly it has an incredibly short shelf life – which explains why they rarely (if ever) show up in supermarkets.
Rocky Point Farm has a Paw Paw orchard – possibly the largest one in New England – and they sell their wares at the Festival and the Farmers’ Market in October.
