       What Is the Pawpaw? North America's Lost FruitThe pawpaw fruit was a favorite of George Washington. It helped save the lives of the Lewis and Clark expedition. And it tastes sort of like a mango-banana creme brûlée. Why have you (probably) never heard of it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73l0zzX7_SY#nature #plants

       @gutenberg_org I can't imagine anyone American wouldn't know what a Pawpaw is. There's even a song about it.You know--pickin' up Pawpaws, put 'em in your pocket.  No??

       @gutenberg_org I have lived in its natural range for decades, and known of it the entire time.  Never been able to try it--neither fruit nor wood.  It's incompatible with existing industrial agricultural practice.  The fruit is not hardy enough for international transport, has a short safe harvest interval, and would likely have to be shipped as frozen pulp.
