The Easiest & Best Papaya to grow at home

Fruitful Papaya Tree
Pick up to 60-80 lbs of fruit in a season! Expect this Papaya to produce fruit the very first year. And your tree will grow up to a manageable size. So while other trees are growing taller, your tree is growing fruit. You won't have to worry about climbing a ladder to pick these delicious papayas. The green skin ripens to gold. Inside, the soft flesh is bright orange.

Grow Anywhere!
You can grow this Papaya tree anywhere in the country. If you're in zone 9-11 you can plant it in the ground, but will need to protect your tree from freezing. In colder areas... just plant it in a container and bring inside for the winter. During your Superbowl party, you can walk on over and pick a fresh papaya for juicing.

So Many Ways to Enjoy This Healthy Fruit
This variety is noted for its flavor, aroma, and texture. Even the peppery-flavored seeds are edible. Papaya is delicious straight from the tree and can also be made into drinks, jellies, pastes, and desserts dried or candied.

Natural and Easy to Grow
This Papaya Tree is perfect for growing organically. It's naturally disease and pest resistant. Your tree likes to dry out between waterings, so avoid areas that stay soggy. This variety has a thicker skin, which guards against insects and keeps the fruit fresher longer. It is self-pollinating. So it produces all by itself. But, each tree will produce more with additional Papaya trees to cross-pollinate with.
