| Jefferson Memorial Forest - Paul Yost Section |
It is not too hard to see Paw Paw trees in Kentucky. There is one in the Jefferson Memorial Forest that is easily seen. It is a rebellious paw paw because the tree usually prefers moist locations. This individual is living on a not so moist hillside. A son’s father would go into the woods and find the fruits for a breakfast. The paw paws easily seen in the outdoors have been too little to get for consuming. But this September a friend made a bowl of paw paws. The paw paws were very tasty. These fruits must be allowed to ripen on the tree. Once picked they must be eaten within three to five days. Albany, Ohio and York, Pennsylvania have festivals celebrating the fruit. So respect and appreciate the forest by you and its paw paw trees.
