Gary and I came up with 'Pickin' up Paw Paws, put 'em in your pocket'
-- but you're right! There's at least that one other one:
Way down yonder in the Paw Paw patch! -- Remember that one (or is it
the same song)?
I'm a little unclear on what it means to 'reproduce clonally' -- is
this similar to a root sucker, sprouting from the bottom of the tree?
