Thread Name: Origins: Paw Paw Patch
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Paw Paw Patch, anyone?
we once had a PawPaw tree in my umpa's back yard. They don't grow very tall. Maybe because it got full sun and didn't like it. The leaves were like those on a rhododendron, but much larger. They turned yellow in the fall and had a very pungent sour kind of smell. They fruit tasted kind of like a banana. Squirrels usually got most of ours.
There is a PawPaw WV, btw.
As for Disney? The Disney versions of Wind in the Willows are pretty bland.
