Come to WVU Core Arboretum to taste pawpaws Saturday (Sept. 28). The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largest fruit native to West Virginia. Pawpaws, which ripen in autumn, have a delicious tropical flavor that some describe as a combination of banana, mango, and pineapple and a smooth, creamy texture. Even though pawpaws are fairly common, many people have never tasted one, and we hope to change that.
