Those plants germinated Oct 7 2011. Normally I think they would have matured a lot more but as I said. I had to keep them in small pots till 30 days ago.
Yes I have grown Papaya in the past . But not X-77.. I'm in South Florida and they seem to grow like weeds here .. Up to 20 feet... But when I saw these might not get so high I wanted to give them a try. the ones I been growing seem to fruit well for about 4 years then a strong wind will take them out or they just stop producing .. From what I read every 3 years you should replace them . Starting new seed at 24 months. Nothing better than picking one, let it ripen , use it in a smoothie .. Or just chunk it up and eat it
