Author Micheal Judd has launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of a new book on America’s wonderful native pawpaw:
“I have been passionate about paw paws for a number of years and am set to create a mini manual that jumps right into growing, caring for, harvesting, and using paws paws – from seed to table. To make this possible I am asking support from my extended community to help cover publishing costs; full design, layout and print ready files.
By jumping in and helping Kickstart this Paw Paw Mini Manual you will help create a resource that will inspire and guide thousands to plant and care for trees that provide food, medicine, habitat, and regenerative ecosystems – all of which will be very good for the planet and your karma.”
I don’t believe in karma, but I do believe in pawpaws – and in Michael Judd’s knowledge and writing skill. I bought his book Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist when it came out a couple years back.
$25 and you’ll get your own signed copy of his upcoming pawpaw book. Sounds like a deal to me. Back it here.

I wish Michael all the best. I can’t grow paw paw in my climate (we actually call papaya paw paw here). If I could I would pick up his book for sure.
Yeah, I can’t grow Asimina triloba here either, but Carica papaya – no problemo.
How do you think Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist translates to South Florida. It’s on my list of books to read but curious if you think the material translates to subtropical climate.
It has some useful ideas. Your best bet, though, is picking plants that grow in your area and arranging them in replacements for ornamentals. As in, find things that grow to the right sizes, then plug them in.
