Join Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy and Mt. Lebanon Public Library for a discussion with Andrew Moore, author of “Pawpaw: America’s Forgotten Fruit.”

The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance. So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one? Moore will explore the past, present, and future of this remarkable species.
