Pawpaw
📍 2G2F+JV Charlottesville, VA, 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 are multiple fruiting pawpaws on the Saunders Monticello trail between the access parking lot on TJ Parkway and the short trail to the Carter Mountain Overlook, especially on the edges of the woods near this clearing. I am visiting in the second week of September, and some trees had unripe/almost ripe fruit, while others showed signs of having fruited (seeds, rotted fruit on the ground) with no fruit on the tree.
