Planted a few of these out in the yard so I can get a real test of cold hardiness with winter coming and just wanted to add a shot of what the root systems are like on these in the "band" containers.

Although advertised as a species of Carica, they are not. I have grown them in USDA zone 9b. You will find the taste very poor in comparison to true papaya.

I am sure you are correct on the fruit quality but have not had one fruit at my location. If anyone was interested, these have all been sold |

Where did you acquire the seeds from? I'd like to start these from seed myself.
Thanks! |
