Well golly! I had to update on these Papaya ..
I had to keep them in one gallon containers till last month . We so many snails from a tree my neighbor transplanted I did not want to plant anything because those things eat a leaf in less than an hour! I lost a 3 foot lychee to them critters!
But now I got the X-77 in the ground on my front lawn "full sun" decent soil and it seems they are taking hold now and I see growth in the last 30 days.. Water and fertilizer, plus all manor of composted materials will be used.. I just yesterday placed some composted pineapple around them

Ill be on the look out for some pineapple seeds that might germinate ..
Oh and yes they are that green .. I just fertilized my lawn and we had plenty of rain!
I did not forget you ron_mcb
