Not yet, but recall the 'old folks' talking about them. I'm looking for a tree.

I think you can order thru them-it would do well in your southern clime. Not here in MT though.

Oh no, those are not the same. This is a fresh fruit delicacy only. I know what your thinking about- not the same.

I don't remember if I did even though it grows in the area I grew
up in. I would like to try them so I will see if I can scout some,
probably better chance if I were further north though. I will try to
remember and ask relations back home about them.
This reminded me of a nut fruit called Chinkapins that grew in the
Appalachia's...I used to love in my youth and the elders used to
bring me bags of them when they visited...that I wish I could find
again and if I did I wonder would they taste as good as I
remember.

Thanks. The article and a video I watched recent said they do not travel well, ie, get bruised and brown easily in transport. They do have a custardy fruity taste and they have large brown seeds in them. I miss my S California figs too. Sometimes my two organic food stores here carry the fresh figs. But I don't think I've seen the paw paw's.

The paw-paw does not travel very well. They grew on the old homestead back in PA and were a great treat. Yes they taste like custard and we loved to eat them.
I brought some seeds from home years ago but the trials here in CO all failed.

I have had paw-paw; it is delicious, and we make paw paw butter out of it. The tree is a thin smoothbark tree, about 30' max height; you get the pawpaw out by grasping the trunk(s) with your hand , and shaking the tree. The leaves are serrated and large, similar in some ways to American chestnut in shape, but 30% longer and 80% wider, and very green.
A lot of them grow down here in Chesapeake Va, also some in Skyline Drive (Shenandoah national park in the mountains); but they're all up and down the coast.
You don't want to eat the skin,or the skin around the seed; those things do have anticancer properties, but they'll give you diarrhea.
The fruit is the only non-tropical breadfruit. It is fine with cold weather. But as a result, the taste is rather similar to that of Jackfruit, another breadfruit that you can get in international food stores.
