Vireya's Blog: Pawpaw?

Saturday, September 1, 2012

Saw this rather sad specimen while out for a walk. It has no leaves at all, just these fruit. Are they pawpaws (papaya) or something else?

Chiara Z said...: If it is a pawpaw, then "sad" is an understatment. Having grown up in a sunnier clime, I can't remember ever seeing one with fruit and no leaves. I googled pawpaw tree to see what I could see, but the pictures of the fruits just made my mouth water. I remember the taste too well.; September 6, 2012 at 8:33 PM
