    Sure but there’s also tons of produce that has a low shelf life or doesn’t travel well (e.g. bruises easily) so you don’t find it anywhere except right where it’s grown.

    e.g. I live where Pawpaws grow. I’ve never even found a whole one because they perish so fast.

      Oh man - It always feels like the pawpaws just hang out for ages up in the canopy whole and unripe to me.

          My best advice would be once they start falling on their own try shaking them out of the tree. But don’t try shaking too hard because it’s completely possible to shake unripe ones out too…
