I just wanted to throw a link out there to a nice article by my friends at Richmond Outside. Prior to reading, I had no idea what a Paw Paw was, let alone that they are growing along the banks of the James! You can read the article here: http://richmondoutside.com/2012/08/20/paw-paw-season-has-arrived/ We found a ton of them on the North Bank trail. If you can find a ripe one (should give a bit, like a peach) I highly recommend you taste it. (I never thought I would be telling someone to taste something they found along the banks of the James.) Bananango (banana-mango) is completely accurate! It also reminds me of the This American Life episode Road Trip. Paw paw for Jesus!
