My greats had moved to Oklahoma. Down in the SW corner. I now live in Colorado (n. central). Ain’t no pawpaws here! My grands and parents sang it to me and I sang it to mine.

My recollection is the pappaw trees were along the rock wall. The pappaws always turned black after a day or so and were rich tasting. I remenber them to have a black seed that was flat and hard. Never had any since my youth but remember going down to the pappaw patch more than once.Since Mom and Dad are gone I doubt I could even find the location but the memories remain clear.

I’d say there’s a pretty strong chance they’ll grow in Southwestern Pennsylvania, yes.

I am convinced there is a market.
