Default Re: Growing Papaya as Ornamental annual.

Papayas have a large tap root and really dont do well in pots... also most store fruit are hybrids so planting seed is a crap shoot , buy quality seed if you want fruit you will want to eat. Red lady is an easy and hardy dwarf that I grow delicious fruit
In areas with frost you can start the seeds in pots 4 months before the first frost you will have a 3-4 ft plant if its hot enough , baby this thru the winter and plant in ground after the last frost ... this is your best chance to get fruit in areas that get frost
