Book excerpt: 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. Historically, it fed and sustained Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved African Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic grower’s dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive, and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer agents yet discovered. So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one? In Pawpaw—a 2016 James Beard Foundation Award nominee in the Writing & Literature category—author Andrew Moore explores the past, present, and future of this unique fruit, traveling from the Ozarks to Monticello; canoeing the lower Mississippi in search of wild fruit; drinking pawpaw beer in Durham, North Carolina; tracking down lost cultivars in Appalachian hollers; and helping out during harvest season in a Maryland orchard. Along the way, he gathers pawpaw lore and knowledge not only from the plant breeders and horticulturists working to bring pawpaws into the mainstream (including Neal Peterson, known in pawpaw circles as the fruit’s own “Johnny Pawpawseed”), but also regular folks who remember eating them in the woods as kids, but haven’t had one in over fifty years. As much as Pawpaw is a compendium of pawpaw knowledge, it also plumbs deeper questions about American foodways—how economic, biologic, and cultural forces combine, leading us to eat what we eat, and sometimes to ignore the incredible, delicious food growing all around us. If you haven’t yet eaten a pawpaw, this book won’t let you rest until you do.

Book excerpt: Winner — IACP 2019 Reference & Technical Cookbook Award From apples and oranges to pawpaws and persimmons "Sara Bir’s voice is quirky, informed, and fresh. The Fruit Forager’s Companion will push any soul who is interested in foraging into the curious world of fruits. . . . You want someone with passion and appetite to lead you on a foraging quest, and Sara has plenty of both."—Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy and In My Kitchen Half of the fruit that grows in yards and public spaces is never picked or eaten. Citrus trees are burdened with misshapen lemons, berries grow in tangled thickets on the roadside, and the crooked rows of abandoned orchards fill with fallen apples. At the same time, people yearn for an emotional connection that’s lacking in bland grocery store bananas and tasteless melons. The Fruit Forager’s Companion is a how-to guide with nearly 100 recipes devoted to the secret, sweet bounty just outside our front doors and ripe for the taking, from familiar apples and oranges to lesser-known pawpaws and mayhaws. Sara Bir—a seasoned chef, gardener, and forager—primes readers on foraging basics, demonstrates gathering and preservation techniques, and presents a suite of recipes including habanero crabapple jelly, lime pickle, pawpaw lemon curd, and fermented cranberry relish. Bir encourages readers to reconnect with nature and believes once the foraging mindset takes control, a new culinary world hiding in plain sight will reveal itself. Written in a witty and welcoming style, The Fruit Forager’s Companion is a must-have for seekers of both flavor and fun.

Book excerpt: Arborist William Bryant Logan recovers the lost tradition that sustained human life and culture for ten millennia. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them. Rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology. He offers us both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach.

Book excerpt: A new vision is sweeping through ecological science: The dense web of dependencies that makes up an ecosystem has gained an added dimension-the dimension of time. Every field, forest, and park is full of living organisms adapted for relationships with creatures that are now extinct. In a vivid narrative, Connie Barlow shows how the idea of "missing partners" in nature evolved from isolated, curious examples into an idea that is transforming how ecologists understand the entire flora and fauna of the Americas. This fascinating book will enrich and deepen the experience of anyone who enjoys a stroll through the woods or even down an urban sidewalk. But this knowledge has a dark side too: Barlow's "ghost stories" teach us that the ripples of biodiversity loss around us now are just the leading edge of what may well become perilous cascades of extinction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pawpaw tree, or Asimina triloba, is a species of fruit tree that grows naturally in the eastern United States. The Annonaceae family, to which it belongs, also includes other tropical fruit trees. The pawpaw tree, endemic to North America, is the largest edible fruit-bearing tree in the region. - Pawpaw trees are deciduous and can reach heights of 10-40 feet, with a straight trunk and a pyramidal crown. The dark green foliage alternate with lighter green ones and turn a bright yellow in the fall. The clusters of blooms are a purplish brown color and hang together. - The tree's star attraction is its delicious pawpaw fruit. The length of this oblong fruit ranges from three to six inches. The fruit is skin turns a soft greenish yellow when it is ready to eat. The meat has a custardy texture and a mild yellow to orange hue. The distinctive flavor has been likened to a cross between banana, mango, and melon. Big, black seeds can be found inside the fruit. - Pawpaw trees need a soil that is rich, wet, and well-drained to grow. These plants thrive in the dappled shadow of the forest floor. They thrive in mild winters and can withstand freezing temperatures, although late spring frosts can ruin their blossoms and immature fruit. The eastern United States is typical of the kind of climate where pawpaw trees thrive. - Growing a pawpaw tree from seed can be done, but it could be quite a while before the tree bears fruit. It is also possible to grow new trees from root suckers or via grafting. Fruit production from pawpaw trees requires cross-pollination between various trees because they are not self-pollinating. - The pawpaw fruit is versatile in the kitchen and can be utilized in many different ways. It has a reputation for having a robust, tropical taste. The fruit is quickly bruised, therefore it is advisable to eat it as soon after picking as possible. - The pawpaw tree is vital to the habitats in which it thrives. Many insects, birds, and mammals rely on it for sustenance and shelter. Due of its strong, unpleasant odor, flies and beetles are the primary pollinators of these blooms. Both erosion and the loss of forest biodiversity are reduced because to the tree's presence. Due to its unusual fruit and ecological importance, pawpaw trees have become increasingly popular among enthusiasts and horticulturists. They may not get as much attention or cultivation as other fruit trees, but they are worth seeking out for their unique flavor and the diversity they bring to natural areas.
