## Overview

The Papaya Tree is a live plant in a 4-inch pot, perfect for growing delicious, edible fruit in your garden or patio. It thrives in full sun and can adapt to various soil types, making it a versatile addition to your outdoor space. With proper care, this tree can grow 20 to 30 feet tall and produce sweet fruit that ripens beautifully. Ideal for USDA zones 9 to 11, it's a low-maintenance option for those looking to enhance their green thumb.

## Description

Select a location for your papaya plant where it will have full sun. The plant grows 20 to 30 feet tall and should be spaced 8 to 10 feet apart. Papayas will grow in nearly any type of soil as long as the soil drains well.   When the fruit starts to ripen, the skin will start to turn yellow or orange, and you can pick the fruit when 1/10 to 1/3 of the skin has changed color. The fruit will be sweeter the longer you allow it to ripen. Keep the papaya at room temperature to allow it to fully ripen and change color. Ripe fruit will keep in the refrigerator for four to seven days.   Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist. The frequency depends on the weather and soil type. Sandy soils should be watered every one to two days in hot weather, while loam soil only needs water every three to four days.   Add a 2- to 6-inch layer of mulch, keeping it 8 to 12 inches from the trunk of the papaya to help retain soil moisture and control weeds.   The Red Lady papaya plant grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 11.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter tree !
*by A***C on October 1, 2023*

I have mine in a pot in zone 7a. It is growing super fast. 6 months in the pot and I have the first fruits appearing. Probably 5’ tall excluding pot. Worth the purchase! Thanks for a great tree.

### ⭐ Did not germinate
*by C***N on June 18, 2023*

### ⭐⭐ Much smaller then I expected
*by J***N on June 7, 2023*

Should be identified as a seedling
