Pawpaw trees are popping up across Albany, and they’re more than just greenery—they’re a game-changer for neighborhoods that need it most. These native fruit trees are being planted to help cool down city streets by up to 10 degrees and provide free, nutritious fruit to areas with limited grocery options. Thanks to a $5 million grant, local students are even running a tree nursery to keep the project growing. Imagine picking a sweet, creamy pawpaw right in your neighborhood while enjoying cooler summer days. How do you feel about turning city spaces into edible, shady oases? #Business #Industry #Albany
