There are a couple good "Solo" varieties; the "Solo Papaya Sunrise" (sometimes called "Strawberry Papaya") is the most popular grown papaya worldwide. It's a Hawaiian variety that produces either female or hermaphroditic plants, so all of them will be producers. (still do at least 3 though)
Now is a good time to start papaya seed if you have a good place to over-winter them, I wouldn't wait much later or you'll miss the best (hottest) part of the summer next year.
