My personal choice is the under 12 foot Papaya plants That’s Hawain or the Low Bearing plants
Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Seed Program
I like these two : Sunrise Papaya , Waimanalo Low Bearing
Reason for selecting these is height and you can start them inside and keep in pots till winter passes, then plant outside in the spring when warm once in the ground they grow really fast.
Red Papaya is what most of us see in a food market.
OK all that said .. If you have never eaten a Papaya from a tree in your yard ! You do not know what they taste like. You simply have a rough idea
