Winter sunshine through paw paw tree
Accidental addition to garden that has proved to be one of our most productive plants. We pick the fruit green so we don't fight the flying foxes for 'em, leave them on the back deck or any spare bench space in the kitchen and they ripen beautifully.

Comment by Heather on June 21, 2008 at 10:10pm - They are quite good even when picked with just a touch of yellow and left to ripen. We do this as we are simply too lazy to bag the fruit - and the tree is getting too tall to for me to reach to bag the fruit without a ladder (see previous reason for not bagging the fruit..!). Admittedly they would taste even better if left on the tree at least another week but it's a compromise between losing the paw paws to the fruit bats and being bothered to put bags on the tree....

How do you know when to pick them? I imagine if you pick them too early they won't ripen.
