First Ripe Pawpaw Fruit From My Dwarf Pawpaw Tree.jpg

Hey people, I was supposed to have done this post two or three days ago but events kept cropping up that made me shift making the post but I think I am a bit light not if I would say so. I was so excited when I was doing a post the other day about my garden to notice that the color of one of the fruiting dwarf pawpaw fruit has started to change its color as in it was about to get ripe.

You can read about that in the link below:

We have a lot of regular pawpaw trees in the compound but my neighbors two storey building keeps shielding the sun from the garden area some part of the day so the pawpaw trees were growing taller than they usually should. Lucky for me we have a retired agriculturalist leaving in my area and when I told him about the problem he suggested I should try planting dwarf pawpaw trees as there is no way they could grow that high, he had some on the trees in his compound and when he took me around to check them out I was really marveled. I was lucky he had some seeds which he also gave me.

I planted them September last year and now they have started fruiting, it faced a lot of challenges in the time it was growing, people kept touching it because it was reachable, kids kept hitting it with a stick and just last month we had a very heavy rainfall with high winds which almost up rooted avocado pea tree and the avocado pea tree used the dwarf pawpaw tree for support.

You can see from the arrow in the picture below where I cut the pawpaw fruit I harvested from the tree.

That is where I cut the riped Pawpaw from.jpg

The pawpaw fruit from a dwarf pawpaw tree is not as big as the one on the regular pawpaw tree, hey, anything that prevents me from climbing a ladder before harvesting the pawpaw fruit is fine by me. Lol. Life is good.

I must say, they taste very sweet.

That is it people, just some benefits of having a garden, you get to eat the fruits fresh from the tree.

So, do they taste a bit like a mango?

Actually they don't. A bit like carrots though if they're not too ripe because it is crunchy then, but when they are really ripe they're succulent.
