Knowing that they are running late, I might change my hunting approach for opening weekend. Hunting these could be pure gold!

If you know where my place is in McArthur, you’re welcome to go down by my pond and check the woods between the pond and my neighbors property line...he told me there’s lots there but he’s never harvested them.
You know i know where its at. I've got more than a few spots with them. Thanks though!

I have yet to find any. My uncle had said before there were some on the farm but have no idea where or where to look.

I got to try my first one last week. Found a nice one and the wife and I tried it. The trees seem to be loaded with fruit this year.
We both liked it! Hard to describe. Texture like a ripe banana with a sweet taste to it.

For those who partake.... its time and damn are they yummy!
I smashed 4 Paw Paws today.... it was quite heavenly!
Maxx said "I like Paw Paws Dad!" I cut it with a knife so he didn't get the seeds but he smashed one....
Youll get an odd fruit or two but not get a loaded tree. Probably the fastest way to get fruit and genetic diversity for your trees is to graft them. Hit some of my honey holes this weekend and if there were dropped fruit the deer/coon/possum got em. Picked several off trees that were ripe. And by several i filled 3 gallon Ziploc bags 3/4 of the way up while squirrel hunting.
Pawpaw festival is this weekend up at Lake Snowden. I would be there but got a golf tourney coming up so gotta get some more practice in bu playing in some money games.
Maxx ran through about 8 paw paw trees this morning. He didn't even know they were there....balls to the wall "I've got to find my deer." Proud Dad Fo Sure!
Took a pic of the small grove of paw paws near my shed just off the back yard.
