Join the Dawes Arboretum and celebrate the Pawpaw: North America's largest native fruit! Take a guided walk through our deep woods with an Arboretum Educator and a member of the American Pawpaw Growers Association, James Dingus, to learn about the rich history of the Pawpaw. We will end up at our flowering shrubs collection and get a chance to sample fruit straight from the tree! Attendees will also get a few fruits to try out Pawpaw recipes at home. Pawpaws cannot be collected from The Arboretum outside of Arboretum-sanctioned events.
