That's the first time I've seen a papaya plant.

What type of papaya is it? How did you grow it from seed?

You must use a really good fertilizer

OMG! Paul, that is an awesome plant. I'm so envious. It did well in our Oklahoma weather didn't it?

Thanks for sharing a picture of it.

I am in California and yours do better then mine. From seed too, now ready to go in ground. But chilly weather is approaching! I better wait. Agreed?
Oh yeah, a Mexican variety

So Jerry, is your seed from a papaya purchased from the grocers? How did you start it?

My Honey usually dumps the seeds from his store bought papayas into the flowerbed and I rake it in on top. Nothing happens $:-\$

It was a Mexican variety from a produce stand. I used plant mix, soil and 4 inch pots to start them, Very easy. 90% grew. I will take photos later.
Anette, you are welcome to some, You need to make the hour drive to Nortridge.
