Very productive, excellent papaya for the sub-tropics. Easy to grow in the ground or even in containers. This Papaya plant can set fruit in about 9-12 months. Often times they will fruit at around 5 feet tall.
The oblong papaya is orange-red, sweet and juicy when ripe. Rich in vitamins A, C and other nutrients, it also contains papain, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of protein. Harvest the fruit when the skin yields slightly to the touch and changes from green to yellow at the edges. You’ll notice a sweet, delicious aroma when it’s fully ripe.
Grow it in full sun and well-drained soil. Let me say it again! Well drained soil!! They don't like wet feet. They also need regular fertilizer, or they will decline fast.
