The Paw Paw is the largest edible fruit native to the United States. The unique fruit grows three to six inches long pods containing a yellow, custard-like flesh which tastes of rich banana, mango, and citrus flavors.  The tree is a relatively small understory tree that enjoys partial shade, and can grow from the Panhandle to the Great Lakes. This fruit has been a treat for early explorers and todays hikers alike. It should be noted that the fruit can upset the stomach of some individuals. The fruit is enjoyed by many small mammals, including fox and squirrels. The large flowers make Paw Paw and excellent attractor of pollinators.

Interesting in regards to food plotting, the Paw Paw and its leaves are widely avoided by whitetail deer, even for browse. There is an important use for this. Anyone who has planted a food plot knows how difficult it is to protect young trees or fruit from being decimated by whitetail. Caging can be difficult or time consuming. The Paw Paw is an excellent choice to attract pollinators or other wildlife that will not be eaten or browsed on by deer. Coupled with the extensive range, the Paw Paw is a prime addition to any food plot.
