I ate a paw paw once, and since then I've been trying to find a definitely identified paw paw tree so I can recognize them in the wild. The fruit was so delicious and the seeds were really interesting and unique. If any of you are willing to show me a paw paw tree in person, please shoot me an email.
- Baeocystin 9y agoIt's 1am where I live right now, but tomorrow I'll take a picture of the two in my backyard and post it. They're only just starting to leaf out after winter, but you can get a decent idea of what they look like.
- novia 9y agoThanks for the offer, but there's more to identifying plants for me than what they look like. There's also texture, and smell. I've looked at pictures online, and it's tricky, because apparently their morphology changes depending on where they are grown.

- Alex3917 9y agoJust go to your local botanical garden or arboretum. They’re super easy to recognize because the leaves look like giant exclamation marks. Sometimes you’ll see them planted near magnolia trees or Buckeyes, both of which also have big leaves, to ‘hide’ them so that people don’t eat the fruit.
- saganus 9y agoI'd love to see (and taste) one too!
