While there are native varieties, there are also many cultivated varieties that have been improved by plant breeders. Pawpaw fruits ripen between late August and October, depending on the variety. Their flavor is sometimes described as a cross between a banana, pineapple, and mango. Each fruit contains two rows of several brown seeds. The skin and seeds are not edible. The fruit is very nutritious and can be eaten plain or used in desserts. Native Americans have long eaten and used the fruit.

While I grew up between the lakes and mountain region of NH we learned the song Way Down Yonder in the Pawpaw Patch from my nana (my mother's mother). We sang it verse after verse taking turns to put in the name of one of the other grand kids in the group on the verses.O hadn't htought about that song for years. Thanks Brock.
