Papaya, Dwarf Waimanalo 5" pots
Produces sweet, slightly acidic, melon textured, yellow and orange fruit when it's only 4-5 feet. These 2 year olds may attain that by Christmas given enough warmth, sun and good drainage outdoors and an indoor winter home. We grow it for the fancy foliage because honestly, papayas are dioecious, that is, male and female parts are on different plants, though some can produce fruit with just one plant. Since we don't know the sex until they flower, and they may or may not need a partner, I suggest you just enjoy its beauty and hope for the fruit!
