Pawpaw: A Unique Fruit Tree for Stream Sides and Landscapes
March 25 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Learn how to ID and plant pawpaw trees. During Forsyth Creek Week, join N.C. Cooperative Extension to learn about this unique native tree. Pawpaw trees (Asimina triloba) go hand in hand with our waterways, thriving in the moist, rich soil of floodplains, stream banks, and river ravines throughout NC. They act as important streambank stabilizers, with wild fruit-bearing trees often found near water sources. The pawpaw tree produces a sweet fruit too eaten by wildlife and humans alike! Join to learn how to identify these trees along the greenways and in parks across Forsyth County and take some seeds home to plant in your own yards!
