{"product_id":"paw-paw","title":"Paw Paw","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eP\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eawpaw, is a  native small understory tree or large shrub which typically grows 15-20' tall  and occurs in low bottom woods, wooded slopes, ravines and along streams. Often spreads by root suckers to form colonies or thickets. Cup-shaped, purple flowers appear in spring, and give way to edible, oblong, yellowish green fruits which mature in early autumn to a dark brown. Flavor and fleshy consistency of the sweet-flavored fruits resembles bananas. Fruits are frequently eaten raw or used in ice creams or pies, although they can produce nausea in some people. Wildlife (e.g., raccoons, squirrels and opossums) eagerly seek out the fruits and often beat humans to the harvest.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rock Crest Gardens Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50730799792413,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.rockcrestgardens.com\/products\/paw-paw","provider":"The Rock Crest Gardens Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
