Dale will present an introductory talk about the native Pawpaw (Asimina Triloba), it’s culture, uses, habitat niche, propagation and last- but not least- it’s wonderful edibility! A tasting of a handful of different varieties will also be offered- as they should be in the peak of the season at this time.
