Is there such a thing as a pawpaw fruit?!
Answers:
Yes.
Fruit: The pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to America. Individual fruits weigh 5 to 16 ounces and are 3 to 6 inches in length. The larger sizes will appear plump, similar to the mango. The fruit usually has 10 to 14 seeds in two rows. The brownish to blackish seeds are shaped like lima beans, with a length of 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches. Pawpaw fruits often occur as clusters of up to nine individual fruits. The ripe fruit is soft and thin skinned.
CULTURE
Yes there is. There's even a song about them: "Pickin' up pawpaws in the pawpaw patch." They grow in the southern US.
ETA: There's even a town in Michigan called Pawpaw.
