I have different varieties and they don't all ripen at the same time. They are wonderful, I just love them. Pick them slightly green, or the raccoons will beat you to them.

I was just back to my family's place in K.C., MO, and they have a forrest of all kinds of trees (even oak and basswood) & grape vines (all wild). Paw paw trees are scattered among the other trees near the creek. The deer, racoons, and whatever else is out there love them; but we found a few, and they were delicious--very strong flavored. One goes a long way. And I learned they are very rich in vitamins & minerals. I live in CA and had never heard of a paw paw tree.

Pawpaws have several tropical relatives from South America such as the "soursops" and "guanabana" (Annona muricata). These should grow well in southern Nigeria and people may already grow them locally. Patrick,
