Default Re: Growing papaya from seeds.

I am in zone 9 and I am not successful growing papayas in my area for 4 years now. They all die every year every winter. If you can tell me your secret I'll be happy to know.
When the temperature goes below 45, they turn to mush. If I keep them inside, the spider mites and aphids get them.
I'd like to know a papaya that can bear mature fruit in less than 9 months.
