Geocache Description:


*FTF Prize is an unactivated travel bug!*

You are looking for a Pawpaw tree on the trail near lake Redmond. Often called the "poor man's banana", the Pawpaw tree produces fruit very similar to the consistency of a banana. Be careful as there is a slight hill where the Pawpaw tree is and that is near the location of the cache. Here are some more facts about the Pawpaw.

Fruit: The pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to America. Individual fruits weigh 5 to 16 ounces and are 3 to 6 inches in length. The larger sizes will appear plump, similar to the mango. The fruit usually has 10 to 14 seeds in two rows. The brownish to blackish seeds are shaped like lima beans, with a length of 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches. Pawpaw fruits often occur as clusters of up to nine individual fruits. The ripe fruit is soft and thin skinned.
