Request: ID papaya variety
ker_01 said:
On a recent trip, I saw a papaya variety that made large fruits, but the
plant itself is what I'd call 'dwarf'- the full size fruit were about 5-6
feet off the ground, and the whole plant was maybe 8 feet tall. The papaya
I'm used to grow 30+ feet tall, making it harder to harvest the fruit.
Does anyone know what variety fits my description? I hope to find some
seeds to give it a try...
There are quite a few dwarf papaya. It could be Carica papaya (IIRC you'll
need a pollinator). Or, it could be C. heilbornii (hardier, but you'll need
a cutting rather than a seed).
