Default Re: Hmm...Papaya or Babaco?

Thanks. But what I mean by "forest environment" is sort of like a pine forest environment. He planted redwoods and manzanitas on that side of the yard. There's a nice patch of grass there, but it only gets full sun a few hours a day. The rest of the time it's either partially or fully shaded.

Anyways, I guess my other spots are too small. Once we rearrange the yard a bit as planned, there will be a LOT more room. I guess I'll find a spot for it in this new room. Or maybe I could plant 1000 Fingers in that new spot (since it's relatively wind resistant) and plant the papaya where my 1000 fingers was going to be planted. Anyways, I'll find a way.

By the way, do papayas sucker from the base of the plant? I read somewhere that babacos do.
