Default Re: Hmm...Papaya or Babaco?

Thanks for the advice. But what I'm really getting at is how much space do they need in the ground. If I end up germinating extra papayas I'm probably just going to give them away. Problem is I don't have much space in my yard that's sheltered enough from the Santa Ana winds. I've already got a huge spot reserved for 1000 Fingers, and all of the other empty spots are next to other plants and are pretty small (one is around 3 ft by 3 ft). The east side of the yard is off limits because my dad wants to make it more of a foresty environment. I'll try to post some pics of the spots I'm looking at. By the way, how long do saved papaya seeds usually last?
