Pawpaws - The Forgotton Fruit©
by Eddie RhoadesPawpaws and other Bittersweet Garden Forites

"Picking up pawpaws put 'em in a basket, way down yonder in the pawpaw patch." Does this little tune sound familiar to you? Many people he heard that song but he only a vague notion of what a pawpaw is. First of all, it is the largest fruit native to North America. It is such a part of our national lore that creeks, islands and towns in several states are named after the pawpaw. It is in the Annonaceae family of which the cherimoya is a tropical cousin. The botanical name is Asimina triloba. Triloba describes the maroon flower which has three petals. Fruit can be single or in clusters.
Several years ago, I was on a tour with a group from NAFEX (North American Fruit Explorers,www.nafex.org) when the conversation turned to pawpaws. I mentioned that although I was a native Southerner, I had never even seen a pawpaw much less tasted one. A fellow named Crafton Clift said, "Well I can fix that," and took down my name and address. A few days later a package arrived from Tennessee with four ripe pawpaws inside. The outer skin was not very attractive, but that aroma! That luscious taste! I offered some to my wife but she didn't really care for it. Great, more for me.
Some of the common names for pawpaw are custard apple and Michigan banana.
So this gives you an idea of its taste and texture, and even to its hardiness range. It grows from the Atlantic coast westward to Oklahoma and north as far as New York. The outer skin can be green, yellow green, brown or almost black. Inside, the creamy pulp which surrounds large dark seeds can be white, yellow or peach colored. This pulp is rich, nutritious and very filling. It is high in unsaturated fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and very high in amino acids.
A fellow Master Gardener and naturalist, Hal Massie in my home town of Austell, GA, has a grove of twenty or more pawpaws along a creek bank in the woods at the back of his property. He has lived there a couple of years, and these trees he never borne fruit. Maybe it's because pawpaws are stoloniferous and will form a colony, all identical to the parent, so there's no genetic diversity-no cross pollination. Or, it could be that as an understory tree, they are simply getting too much shade. Looks like I can't count on my friend for any pawpaw fruit.
I had already planted the seeds of the fruit I got from Crafton Clift, but they are notoriously slow to germinate, and then it would be several more years before they came into bearing. So what could I do in the meantime for pawpaws to eat? I got out my NAFEX membership roster, looked under Georgia, and found Ken Stalcup not a mile from my house. A quick phone call and "yes" he had pawpaws and "no" he wouldn't let me pay for them, I could come and get all I wanted. Ken's tree was about the size of a dogwood and was growing out in full sun. It had these large, droopy, deciduous lees and was loaded with pawpaws. Pretty soon I was too.
Back at home, I began to wonder why such a delicious fruit that was part of our heritage had fallen by the wayside, I suppose it is because the fruits all ripen at once and are highly perishable. You can only store them for a week or two in the refrigerator. You'll probably never see it in the stores because it is too soft to ship, therefore it has little commercial value.
However, it does seem strange that Japan and Italy both he commercial plantings, but America, where pawpaw is native, has none.
Pawpaw plants deserve a place in the garden. They don't take up that much space, and they are very practical plants-something you can eat. You won't he to spray the fruit or the trees as they are virtually pest-free, although they are host plants for the Zebra swallow-tail butterfly. If you or your children or grandchildren don't get to the fruit, then the wildlife will. In fact, wildlife are part of the natural seed distribution program.
If you try to plant a species pawpaw from the wild, you may not he much luck. First of all, they are hard to transplant because of the lack of root hairs. Secondly, if the plant does live it may never bear or it may develop inferior fruit. Your best bet is to order seed from select plants.
If you decide to grow a pawpaw in a container, be sure to use a deep one as the plant has a long tap root. Better still would be to purchase a named cultivar. This would be a grafted plant that will assure you of fruit with superior size and taste. Some of the better cultivars include 'Wells', the winner of a national contest (conducted in 1990 by Brett Callaway) with a 400 gram fruit grown in Salem, Indiana; 'Sunflower' with 5- inch, oval lees and 250 gram fruit that are thick and sweet; and 'Overleese' with 350 gram oval to round fruit with superior flor. Other good selections are:
'Mango', 'Mary Foos Johnson', 'Triple Cross', 'Dis' and 'Wilson'.
Craig Allen, a grower in Watkinsville, GA, believes strongly that the pawpaw is an excellent native plant that deserves better publicity. You can't just saunter into your local nursery and buy a named pawpaw. With that in mind, I purchased the seed, and Allen germinated over a hundred pawpaw seedlings, which we planned to give away at the 12th annual Native Plant Conference at Cullowhee, NC. This benevolent act fell through when a record heat we hit, and the plants all died. The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. It wasn't a total disaster as I did give my slide presentation to over 400 attendees and passed out literature for the Pawpaw Foundation. It created a lot of excitement and made me feel proud to be promoting the humble pawpaw.

¼ cup sugar
¼ cup passion fruit or banana liqueur
1 cup pawpaw puree
1 cup whipping cream
Over a simmering double boiler, combine egg yolks and sugar. Meanwhile heat the liqueur till warm (too hot will cause it to ignite). Add warmed liqueur to egg yolk and sugar mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Allow to cool and fold in pawpaw puree. Whip cream into stiff peaks and fold into pawpaw and egg mixture. Serve chilled with shed chocolate or a fruit garnish of your choice.

The PawPaw Foundation
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and development of Asimina triloba as a new fruit crop for American farmers and consumers. The Foundation seeks to reacquaint Americans with this distinctively native fruit, and to lay the groundwork for a pawpaw revival by promoting scientific research in the areas of pawpaw breeding, growing, managing, harvesting, and use. The Foundation believes that, with adequate research and development in the 1990's, pawpaws will be as commonplace in produce stands early in the next century as kiwis and mangos are today, and that the pawpaw tree will become as valued a part of the domestic garden as the apple and pear.

Pawpaws in Oregon: July 1996[size=+1]Pawpaw, Asimina triloba L. is an American fruit native from Florida to New York and generally west to the Mississippi. Although pawpaws enjoy the summer heat of the south, the plant may do well under the climate in the Pacific Northwest. Some selections of this plant he been made over the last 100 years, however this fruit has not been commercialized. It has 'new crop' potential. The yellow custard-like fruit has high amino acid content; anti- carcinogens are present in the lees; extracts from the twigs and lees he some insecticidal properties.

NCGR Pawpaw patch begins its first season of growth
Our unit and Oregon State University are participating in a Pawpaw variety trial in cooperation with the National Pawpaw Foundation. We, along with 15 other sites across the country, planted replicated blocks of 28 cultivars and selections in a specified research plot in 1995. At Corvallis, Oregon, the plants leafed-out slowly in May, after a relatively mild winter with record rainfall. Genotype differences in plant vigor are already visible. Some clones are 1.5 m tall; others only half that size.

番荔枝科的水果有很多，但一般都称为“番荔枝”。
栽培种类有很多，但都分布在热带或者南亚热带地区。


唯独“泡泡树”分布在温带地区，它也属于番荔枝科。
