The Latin name is Asimina triloba.
An early name for the fruit was "Indiana banana". Also: "Hoosier
banana".

Interestingly (for me anyway), what we have here that I thought was a pawpaw is actually a Mountain Pawpaw (Carica pubescens), no relation at all! Go figure.

But are there more ideas out there on how to protect my now precious fruits from the critters out there.

We have mountain lions, deer, opossum, raccons, black bear that occasionally roam through Paradise.

Dear nandavision,

You did not ask a question on how to protect your precious fruits from the critters... You asked if there was another name for a paw paw...You can not just email someone and it automatically pays them...you must press the "accept" button to do this, and he gave you a correct answer...

Thanks in advance...



Thank-You,
and May God Bless.
