Papaya seed & more from U of HI Seed Program

Bob3 · 02-25-2013, 04:05 PM

After stocking up for this season's papaya (& some other) seed needs, we have some extras that we are offering for cost of postage:
Solo Papaya:
Sunrise, Sunset, Waimanalo (X-77) 'low bearing'.
See more about them here:
Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Papaya Seed

We also have some of the Komohana grape tomato seed; use the above link & scroll on down to the bottom of the tomato section.

Postage is 50¢ for a plain 1st class business envelope, which is fine for tomato seed but the papaya seed may get crunched up unless you want to opt for a doubled up bubble mailer for $1.65.
The papaya seed has been running well in excess of 95% germination.

If you need larger volumes or other kinds of seeds, you can order direct from the good folks at: Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Seed Program Main Page

For quickest response, PM or email me.

All of my Papaya seeds I got from you in November have germinated. I hope to be able to transplant soon. Thanks again for your generosity of making the seeds available just for postage to us banana.org members.

Yep! seed [from me] is free, asking folks to cover postage.
You'll have to pay if bought from the U of HI.

Our [free] veggie seeds are running low but because we sell the papaya seed on ebay, it's always in stock.

The papaya seed from U of HI has historically always had an outstanding germination rate; it's not unusual to have all 72 seedlings come up in a flat of 72.

Because papaya seedlings REALLY dislike being transplanted though, we always suggest that the largest [practical] size pot be used for germination.

Oh Bob I forgot let me get to that right now...long days at the nursery as Spring gets here.
Completely slipped my mind yesterday...sorry

flaflowerfloozie · 03-14-2013, 06:07 PM

You are on the ball that's for sure!!

Worm_Farmer · 05-11-2013, 03:52 PM

Any Papaya left?

hope · 05-11-2013, 11:11 PM

Hi, l ordered my seeds a couple of months ago from U of HI l think. But check the message from Bob3 or sunfish for the address. Mine have not grown yet because we are still getting cold weather at night

But l want as many papaya trees as l can grow. Everything else is growing though.'

flaflowerfloozie · 05-12-2013, 08:46 AM

I just transplanted 60 papaya babies yesterday into 1 gallon pots from the seeds I got from Bob3.
I hope I got neighbors who are interested...LOL

They'll be up just wait

Yep!
The other veggies have all found new homes (we're on the 5th crop of lettuce already) but we almost always have papaya seed. Sunrise is the most popular.
