Dr. Ron Eby, owner of St. Francis Veterinary Clinic near Green Forest, has more than a dozen pawpaw trees growing around his clinic. The fruit is a native tree, but perhaps not a familiar site for most Arkansans. Kentucky State University has been researching the plant since the early '90s and you can find more information about pawpaws including how to grow them at the university's website.
