It's National PawPaw Day! Also known as a "Hoosier Banana" this native fruit tree produces a delicious custard like banana that is highly nutritious for wildlife (and people!) alike. These trees also serve as the host plant for the zebra swallowtail butterfly. Have you ever eaten a pawpaw? What is your favorite recipe? https://bit.ly/HoosierBanana #nativeplants #foraging #eatlocal
