This looks kinda tropical and the fruit is an odd mishmash of banana and mango flavors or something, but it's never been grown commercially since the fruit ferments rapidly after picking.
Post fruit from your cunt

>paw paw
they grow in my yard
The leafs look like chestnut leafs
Coincidence. It's not related to chestnut at all, rather the only temperate member of a tropical plant family.
You're better getting a cultivar of pawpaw than the straight species as it produces consistent fruit. The species form has widely variable fruit that can sometimes taste pretty awful.
pretty sure it's the only native fruit tree to north america
look like some african fruit 2bh
Calafate
Haha wtf is fruits? Have some cloudberry.
What does it taste like?
>look like some african fruit 2bh
Wrong. There's also American persimmon and a whole bunch of cherries, crabapples, and other oddities like serviceberry.
Like a concrentrated blueberry, much more sweet and fleshy...
It's great in liquors
>and a whole bunch of cherries
Most of these are only bushes. Black cherry is a tree but the fruit is tiny and sour and you'll never get it before the birds do.
Actually there's 11 other Asimina species, they're rare/endangered/not grown in cultivation.
Persimmon and pawpaw unfortunately have separate male and female trees so you'll need several to get any fruit.
Is the size of the fruit as big as a fist?
I might go on mail order to try some myself.
paw paw are shitty pollinators. I have many trees in my yard and I only get 8 to 12 fruit every year
It's native to Patagonia so it might grow in Texas which has a similar climate.
You may have to collect pollen with cotton swabs and pollinate the female trees yourself to improve output. They're poor pollinators because the flowers smell rank and aren't attractive to bees.
lol no, it's like of the size of a blueberry... If that you can order the liquor, it's very tasty
Also while pawpaw is a fairly small tree, persimmon is like 70 feet.
In the Northeast persimmon maxes out at 40 feet, it won't get as big as it will in Georgia or Alabama.
Hackberry produces a kind of fruit. It tastes like dates.
Lingonberry. How can it be Scandinavia with that?
Commercial persimmon production uses the Japanese persimmon as it's a much smaller tree.
Blackcap raspberry
Didn't Brazil have that fruit that grows along the tree trunk or something?
I think it's called snake tree or something.
Elderberry
How about Arizona? Is that good?
I love the surprising amount of botany lovers on Jow Forums
It could.
Texas. I would've assumed maybe Montana or someplace
Where does Pawpaw grow in the wild. It seems tolerate inundation fairly well and I've seen it along creeks
Not really sure. It's listed as growing in southern Patagonia/Chile which is closer to 50 degrees south. That would be more like Canada distance from the equator. I can't say for sure but it may be a long day plant in which case Texas isn't suitable for it.
>Pawpaw is found in deciduous forests, on slopes of ravines, along
streams, and floodplains. Soils on which it occurs are usually deep,
rich, damp, sandy, or clayey [15,28,36].
>Common tree associates include blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), Ohio buckeye
(Aesculus glabra), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthus), and coffee tree
(Gymnocladus dioica) [3,9].
The Southern Cone is realllllyyy loooonnnng, it extends from subtropical latitudes to like 56 degrees south.
An important thing to understand is plant photoperiod. This is usually true of most perennials which includes trees and shrubs. Basically, anything that grows in tropical or subtropical places is known as a short day plant because its growth is adapted around the day/night cycle staying relatively constant year-round.
In the tropics for instance, the day/night are pretty much always 12 hours each and it never changes much over the course of a year. The further you get from the equator, the summer days and winter nights get longer and longer. In Scandinavia, around 50-60 degrees north, you get like 20 hours of daylight at the summer solstice and 20 hours of dark at the winter solstice.
So it's important to plant things from a similar latitude/growing zone. For example, in the Northeastern US it's common to plant European beech as an ornamental as it's more suitable for landscaping than the American species. But European beech won't really grow south of Maryland because it evolved for the relatively high latitude of Europe with long summer days. This is also true of many other European trees and shrubs like littleleaf linden and Norway spruce--they can't tolerate the Southern US as it's too hot and the day/night length will fuck them up.
Of course many plants including a lot of annuals have no photoperiod at all and just flower when they reach a certain size/root mass.
That's why in the South you have so-called "short day" onion which are bred for the day/night cycle there and "long day" onions in the northern US.
The interesting thing about onions is that in colonial times it took careful selective breeding of common European varieties to produce ones suitable for the US. One reason being that onions grown in England or Germany or whatever were adapted for the approximate latitude of Canada. It's also noted that some Iberian varieties like Silver Skin were widely grown in the Mid Atlantic as the latitude is the same as that of Spain and Portugal.
Jatobá. It is like to eat flour but tastes and smells terrible.
Apparently it took extensive selective breeding of potatoes to grow them in Europe since they originated in the Andes which is on the equator.
ok gotcha
its jabuticaba, uma delicia
Tropical cunts always have the weirdest, wackiest fruits.

According to this, it's a slow-growing tree but can bear fruit at as young as 5 years, and it's also adapted for heavy rain half the year and almost none the other half.
