Seedy snaps from today’s dog walk
Pawpaw
We hadn’t realized we had any pawpaw trees until yesterday, when I found these several fruits on the ground by the bench in the meditation garden. The leaves were familiar enough, although I had previously mistaken their trees for hickory saplings. Apparently both the skin and seeds are poisonous. Sandy cut two open for an inside photo, and we carefully tasted, spitting out the seeds. It’s somewhere between pineapple and banana. I went looking for more, and found the set on the left, below, at least long enough to snap the picture.
