There are many papayas that are self-fruitful, although most of them are not Carica papaya, and the ones that are in C. papaya are typically not hardy below zone 11.

For a run-down on Papaya species, see Carica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Most of these interbreed, so the potential for more plants like "Solo" is very high.
