I know for me personally, they are only ripe for a very short time. And by the time I get back to the woods where I find them, the animals have already decided to harvest them for themselves.
Just like morel mushrooms, there is a very short harvest season and people are pretty protective of where they find them.
I never thought Paw paw is the most fruit Americans look forward to buy

They perish too easily for me, which is why I prefer apples
WTF is a paw paw? In Tennessee that's a grandfather! 🤣
Officially they are Asimina triloba. Or Hillbilly Mangos, or Kansas Bananas. They are delicious.

They grow out your way too.
And my father is a Pawpaw too.
