We have a good supply of Mountain Pawpaw Fruit at the moment...
The Mountain Pawpaw (Carica pubescens or Vasconcellea pubescens) is a hardy, small, subtropical tree from South America, known for its cold tolerance compared to regular papaya, producing yellow, apple-sized fruit with a mild, tangy flavour. Eaten fresh or cooked (like a vegetable or in desserts), the fruit is rich in Vitamins A, C, B, and iron, and its enzymes act as a natural meat tenderizer, making it a popular, low-maintenance fruit tree in New Zealand's mild climates.
Two dollars per kg. Phone Carol on 367-3410. Pick up Roslyn Road.👍.
