24+ Caribbean Red Papaya Seeds (Carica papaya) including planting instructions. These are from our home grown papaya's - 100% organically grown and germination tested.
These papaya's get the LARGE (12" long) fruits with flavorful red flesh. These are hardy to 32°F, but obtain optimal growth in warm (HOT!) zones. Grows best in full sun, in sandy, well draining soil. These can be container grown in colder areas and kept in a greenhouse over winter. They make excellent plants to add a tropical feel to your patio, deck or pool area with their unusually shaped large leaves. You will need a female and male tree to produce fruit.
If you live in a zone where these are not hardy, then you should start your plants in late summer and overwinter them indoors in containers, setting them out the next spring after all danger of frost is past. This way, you can get fruit by the end of the summer after you set them out.
