Pawpaw
📍 3515 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008, USA
🗓 Season: August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Green skin turns slightly yellow and gives like a ripe avocado. Custard-like, mango-banana scented flesh inside. Falls at the slightest touch. Very short shelf life — refrigerate and eat within days. Found throughout eastern North America.
There appear to be a lot of small seedlings here, but I haven’t seen any fruit (not uncommon). I suspect there is a larger parent tree up the hill. ID is by leaf only; would appreciate verification as I visit the area only occasionally. I would be quite surprised if there were NOT pawpaws in nearby Rock Creek Park.
