Ten pawpaw trees were planted Summer 2020 in the indigenous agriculture garden at The Brick Works. The pawpaw is the only temperate species in a family of tropical fruit trees native to North America. Climate change and food insecurity has brought more attention to this resilient tree and its large, nutritious fruit. Cared for by Isaac Crosby, Evergreen’s Lead Hand of Urban Agriculture.
