As usual lately, i was looking for new lesser known and exotic fruit to buy and burn a few holes in my wallet with.

I came across so many amazing fruits, yesterday i had Lucuma Sapote for the first time after wanting to try it for years. It being so hard to find and afford lmao, living in west europe, felt heavenly.

I also was able to get my hands on Atemoya, Sugarcane, Cherimoya, Longkong (similar to Longan, Langsat,rambutan, lychee), Mamey Sapote, Sapodilla, Carambola, Cactus figs, Curuba Passionfruit, and red Salak (unfortunately the salak and cactus figs came expired, very bad smell w the salak, like fermented fruity yeast ass, and the cactus fruit is mush like overripe peach) I’m still very happy for getting my hands on them though.

Ok back to the main topic though, sorry, after searching for my next target today, i found Pawpaw trees for sale online, but not the fruits.

What seemed phenotypically like a type of mango, is actually more similar to a banana. described as sweet, akin banana, mango and pineapple, fruit from 200gr/7oz/0.45 pounds to 500g/17.6oz/1.1 pounds. Native to the Americas, mainly US and Canada, i also saw some sites saying it is native to Australia?

Anyhow, tldr: wondering if any of you have tried this fruit before, and or tried growing it, how good it tastes, how hard it is to grow, especially in temperate climates.

Cheers!
