Isn't X-77 the GMO variety?

YES we got BLOOMS !

Ill post a few more pictures as they grow . Hope I can get a fruit before December when it starts to get chilly South Florida dont get to terribly cold so I might be OK.. We will see.. now I might need a PIT BULL to keep the neighbors from attacking my tree as it produces fruit... but that was the only close to full sun location I have left..... It just gets shade during hottest time of the day

I am curious, is the papaya in the ground or do you overwinter inside? I ask because I see that you are zone 8. I am zone 8B in Vancouver Canada and would love to try some of your seeds but am running out of greenhouse room - as well as room in the house - to overwinter too much more.
If you think they will survive the winter, count me in for seeds!

Im in POMPANO BEACH, Florida Zone 10 Close to Fort Lauderdale …
This tree is in the ground year round Papaya can grow here without any problem... Just a wee bit cool in December and January . And all of us living here freak out in 40 degree weather .. If you want seeds you are more than welcome to them as soon as I get a fruit! You will see pictures or perhaps some one else has seeds available here now on the org ? If you don't want to wait.. Historically people been planting seeds in August and keeping them in a pot over the winter then after fear of frost planting them out side .. Papaya don't like to be disturbed when transplanting them I try not to disturb the root ball .. And the fruit is Great Either you like it or you don't. Google “health benefits of papaya “ see what you think
Here I got this link look at the bottom of the page

Thanks, I guess I misread as they will definitely not survive the winter here as it is already dropping to about 50 degrees during the nights and it will only get colder.
But perhaps - as it appears - it is a dwarf tree, that I might be able to squeeeeze in one more tree into the greenhouse during the winter. Could you please let me know when you get some more seeds? I already will have to plan for one additional plant next year when the julie mango will be large enough to leave the house.....
Thanks again,
Pam

Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Seed Program
This is the site for seed from University of Hawaii. We got seed there last fall and they germinated 100%.
ron mcb, a member, lives in zone 8, central Georgia and this is his response to me.......

" i dont know about exposing the plants to 20 degrees for prolonged periods .. most likely cold wet feet will be fatal.. if there is a hard frost the plant will be damaged and that part will have to be removed or a fungus will start and it will spread. anything around freezing no mater what size the plant is equals problems.

i stopped doing much experimentation in cold weather with them. i just start them late fall and try to keep them over winter.. if not i start early spring.

thanks for the offer on the other seeds but i tried growing most of them and i like x-77"

I had offered him some other papaya seeds also.
Here in zone 9b we are hoping they survive the winter in the ground but will start new seeds soon in pots also and see how that goes.
Hope this is a little help, good luck and get those hands dirty.

thanks for the update on your growth mr trebor.. i have to post pics of the progress mine have made..the ones i have alive are still only knee high. got kinda discouraged after the biggest one i kept from last year fell victim to a wild pig i think.. i have a few potted that i will keep over winter. no fruit.. at least not from papaya.. all summer i havent really had any time to mess with anything. have been watching pineapples that seemed ready to spike.. have been watching saba and goldfinger throw off leaves as big as me.. again thanks to all interested parties for keeping this going.

Hey Ron

your welcome but you are who I should be thanking . It was you who stimulated us here to take an interest in X77 . Free seeds were a joy to get . And projects like this are a gardeners joy. Yup I still get a kick every time I walk out my door and see 2 papaya growing in my front yard . I have 8 other papaya growing in the back yard of different variety's . I will continue to post updates here with the hopes that someone else who might have questions relating to papaya can use what we did as a guide . Plus I will plant some papaya close to my bananas to utilize my growing area to its max.

Low bearing papaya are a real treat to grow.

My personal choice is the under 12 foot Papaya plants That’s Hawain or the Low Bearing plants
Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Seed Program
I like these two : Sunrise Papaya , Waimanalo Low Bearing
Reason for selecting these is height and you can start them inside and keep in pots till winter passes, then plant outside in the spring when warm once in the ground they grow really fast.
Red Papaya is what most of us see in a food market.
OK all that said .. If you have never eaten a Papaya from a tree in your yard ! You do not know what they taste like. You simply have a rough idea
