Thank you.

I'm glad to hear that. I just have to figure out what to do for it, if it does need anything. We get frosts here around October or so and last year we had a long period of unusually cold weather for most of that month.
I'm used to volunteer blackberries and strawberries, but I didn't expect a papaya to volunteer. Not here in the Great Smoky Mountains anyway. We aren't known for our papaya. I suspect some one must have planted it or disposed of seeds right there. It seemed to come up from nothing the spring/summer before last.
