Asimina triloba (pawpaw) |
One of our continent's most distinctive trees, pawpaw (Asimina triloba) features foot-long leaves, unforgettable springtime flowers, and funky fruits that develop over the course of the summer. It is an understory tree, usually found in moist, low lying areas in small thickets. No other trees in its range look similar, with the possible exception of Kentucky's big-leaf magnolia and other magnolias, but big-leaf magnolia's leaves are even larger (2–3 feet long!) and all magnolias produce conspicuous cones. To my knowledge no mushrooms are specifically associated with pawpaw. |
