pawpaw
Native American fruit
Pawpaw is a tree native to eastern North America, or its oblong greenish fruit with sweet, custard-like flesh.
The fruit tastes tropical—often compared to banana and mango—despite growing in temperate climates.
Also spelled papaw.
In some regions, pawpaw refers to the unrelated papaya, which causes occasional confusion.
