I really want to try a paw paw now. This video made me chuckle at one point though because I'm not watching them in order so when Andrew doubts himself about being able to make fire, it was funny to already know that in a few years after this video he's now a pro at lighting fires!
While I was section hiking on the AT in Virginia (James River ) area we came across a Paw Paw tree. Needles to say I was the only one brave enough to try one I was very lucky that it was ripe and delicious! Thanks for the info on the Paw Paw festival. I will put that on my East coast list to attend next year. 🍻
Thanks for the information on the Paw Paw tree and fruit. Who knew the trees grew in northern Florida. I learn something new every-time I tune in to your video blogs. Love you guys! Though the pawpaw is generally unknown to the American public, it is the largest edible fruit native to the US. The fruit is indigenous to 26 states from northern Florida to Maine and west to Nebraska. Fossil records indicate that the papaw's forebears established themselves in North America millions of years before the arrival of humans. American Indians extensively used the pawpaw and introduced it to European explorers. As a much loved fruit, European settlers named towns, creeks, and islands after the pawpaw. Today, pawpaws are primarily eaten in very rural areas, and most Americans only know of the fruit from the traditional folk song, "Way Down Yonder in the Paw Paw Patch." The pawpaw plant is found most commonly near riverbanks and in the understory of the rich eastern US forests. The Pawpaw has a creamy, custard-like flesh with a tropical flavor, which is often described as a combination of mango, pineapple, and banana. More than 50 commercial nurseries market pawpaw seeds or trees in the US. The pawpaw Foundation at Kentucky State University is actively working to revive the fruit by promoting scientific research in the areas of pawpaw breeding, growing, managing, harvesting, and use.
In Los Angeles we have the theadore Payne nursery that sells native plants which are a great replacement for a lawn. Glad to see others in different states making native plants available!
You know all my life I have hated that I lived in Ohio. I always loved the thought of being above the treelines in the west and seeing the clouds below me on the top of mountains. I really enjoy watching your videos about Ohio. Though I can see you really like the west as well, you also have a curiousity of Ohio's heritage too. Definately makes me feel like im not in the complete worst place. Its cool to see the video and see signs of Hocking College. I had classes out at lake snowden for the college. Sweet stuff. Keep it up.
I've never had a paw paw but one of my favorite songs as a kid was the paw paw song. Modified slightly... Where, oh where, oh where is Andrew? Way down yonder in the paw paw patch. Pickin up paw paws puttin em in his pocket. Way down yonder in the paw paw patch. There are various renditions here on UA-cam. Enjoyed the video guys, thanks.
Friends and I plan on going to the Paw Paw Fest and camping every year but I have only been able to make it to 3 or 4 fests in my 14 years living in Athens. Pretty much anyone that does anything local can be found there. It's a good illustration of how a supportive local-centric community should function. A friend of mine actually made the paw paw costume that you might have seen wandering around the event. Anyway perhaps I will run into you guys sometime at the fest or Zaleski or maybe wandering around Wildcat Hollow.
great video!......I have planted several paw paw trees on my land in North Central Florida...they are growing well despite being at the extreme Southern edge of their range...no fruit yet, but the trees are still young and thriving!
Glad you had a great time. I'm one of the food vendors at the Pawpaw Festival and it's always great to taste the variety of Pawpaw dishes that we make for the event every year. I hope you had a chance to try my Pawpaw Cotton Candy while you were there since you can't get it anywhere else in the world :-) Hope to see you back next year.
Looked like fun guys, thanks for sharing. Never tried a Paw Paw fruit before. Have seen many in the area, but never tried. Will have to next time I am out and bout and see them. Stay safe and good adventures guys!
Looks delicious! I have only ever seen more orange/yellow papaya here in Australia, which are still often referred to as paw paw...which I can see now they are not- although they are in the same family. I don't love papaya but the paw paw you guys are eating looks like something I would really love.
Paw Paw ointment is fairly popular here in Australia. In my experience, it's been good for treating sun burn, chafing and dry lips. Worth a look in my opinion.
That's really cool! NOt sure how i can get my hands on a PawPaw here in VT, but i will be psyched to try one when i get into Pawpaw territory some day.
I love the pawpaw! We hunt for them while trail running here in Kentucky. KSU has a great research program on the “hipster banana.” :) www.pawpaw.kysu.edu/
The first time I had a custard apple was in Taiwan. Since then I've been obsessed with the different varieties! Whenever I'm on the west coast, I got to hit up Ranch 99 looking for them. And when I found out Paw Paws are the US Midwest version...🤯!! I'll definitely need to check out the festival! Do they sell Paw Paw trees? I randomly went to a farmers market in North Carolina last year and they had a few Paw Paw trees, mine is still in the pot and waiting for it to get bigger before transplanting in ground. But hoping to get another!
Pawpaw in Ohio, wow! I thought you had to go to New Guinea, or Mexico. Then again it's papaya that's in Mexico. I guess there is a pa in every country.
you guys are so underrated, youtube should put you on everyone's watching recommendation.
Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you for this video! Really helpful to see what the festival is like.

I love the way you brought this video together, you have excellent narration skills and made me want to go to the next pawpaw event

My Grandpa loves the Paw Paw and the Persimmon. I enjoy both.
Looks like a great festival, love the focus on local traditions, local plants etc. Didn't know about the Ohio Trail!
great video!......I have planted several paw paw trees on my land in North Central Florida...they are growing well despite being at the extreme Southern edge of their range...no fruit yet, but the trees are still young and thriving!
Super nice date guys, thanks for sharing!
I'm from Europe, I've never heard of Paw Paw until Vox made a video about it.
Glad you had a great time. I'm one of the food vendors at the Pawpaw Festival and it's always great to taste the variety of Pawpaw dishes that we make for the event every year. I hope you had a chance to try my Pawpaw Cotton Candy while you were there since you can't get it anywhere else in the world :-) Hope to see you back next year.
I have never tried Paw Paw but am curious now. Andrew was channeling his inner Survivor man with that hand rail. Thanks for taking us along guys. 👍
Excellent video and great choice using Point Reyes photo. Your followers Ron & Chris ;-)
Great video....great adventure. I always learn something and enjoy your videos! Thanks!
Looked like fun guys, thanks for sharing. Never tried a Paw Paw fruit before. Have seen many in the area, but never tried. Will have to next time I am out and bout and see them. Stay safe and good adventures guys!

Thanks for making this video. I would have never known of it otherwise. I am planning my trip to the festival this year and am super excited!!!!
I'm going to be trying to get my hands on pawpaw trees to grow here this coming spring. I'll have you guys up for the harvest if/when I get fruit.
Listen for fun: Eddie Fisher - Oh my papa. It's a song of the 1950's. Now, I imagine the adapted version when you eat the fruit: Oh my pawpaw !!! 😉

Love Jackie O's beer, I'll have to make the trip down from Columbus next year to check out this festival!
Great video on the Paw Paw Festival :)
I used to make beer not more than 20 feet from a paw paw tree. If only I had known. LOL
At 1:37, I am the kid behind the bicyclists in the sandals
Tastes like a mix between a mango and banana? WOW I want some.
That's really cool! NOt sure how i can get my hands on a PawPaw here in VT, but i will be psyched to try one when i get into Pawpaw territory some day.
Seen the GMM moment with the beer. That was pretty cool guys.
So that's the secret to Andrew's plant identification, signs!

Some strong beer there, ~9% cool
Jackie O's makes an amazing Paw Paw Wheat beer. Athens is my second home but I haven't been this fest. Thanks for sharing!

Great video like always AA. Keep up the adventures. I never heard of paw paw. But I’ll take Andrew and thomas’ word that it’s good!
I love paw paws!
Oh come on! Those are freaking mangoes!

Bryan and Robby now have to do their own festival video. I'm thinking Star Wars and it should be called the Pew Pew Festival.
The first time I had a custard apple was in Taiwan. Since then I've been obsessed with the different varieties! Whenever I'm on the west coast, I got to hit up Ranch 99 looking for them.
