NOVEMBER PAWPAW

 

November Pawpaw
The leaves were gathered in early November, just before they fell, and show the ravages of weather and insects. Pawpaws, the northern most representative of a tropical family of trees, grow wild in Lancaster County, PA,  usually near streams, and bear large edible fruits that taste like banana custard.
