In South Africa we refer to the papaya as pawpaw, I'm in England now, and here they just say papaya. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya. This article mentions papaya as a separate fruit. Is there something missing?
- lidavidm 3y agoWell, yes: pawpaw is a different fruit in the US Midwest, and that's what the article is about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba
- twright 3y agoCarica papaya versus Asimina triloba
- zdragnar 3y agoThe article covers it rather well, if you get far enough in, I thought. This pawpaw is a fruit native to North America, and the name sharing is just coincidence. Here's the Wikipedia page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba
