Carica papaya

#papaya

#papaya want to make some candied papaya, but not sure when to pick one! 😕

Wow! Just wow! So impressive that these are in your yard!

So amazing! They get slightly softened I believe. I have only killed the plant at a young age, so maybe I am not the one to ask. 😉💞

Look at the growth!!! I'm no help with the fruit though! Lol😋

Beautiful! Looks a bit like a honeysuckle flower. Wow!

#papaya wish these things would hurry up! Lol!

Can't wait for these to ripen!

Wow that’s a lot!!😊💕

#papaya loaded with fruit 😀

Is it red or yellow flesh. They’re called #pawpaw here. Yummy 🤤

Not sure, @sussanah hurricane last year wiped out the papayas the neighbors had, we think these are seeds, from them. There are fruit trees here called pawpaw, smaller fruit and they do better in cooler temps papaya are tropical, love the heat 😉

Neat, not familiar to that..@treefrog44

#papaya getting filled with fruit! Hope they all make it!

Oh yum! Papaya!

That is quite a few!!!

My first fruit this year! #gyo #seedstarted #papaya

Wow! You can grow these there roo! 👌

@jeatacake just about anything can grow here! Except lilacs...😢 too hot for them

That sounds a pretty good deal to me, all in all 👍😁

Volunteer seedlings popping up!

Sorta maple, sorta sassafrass/ mulberry, sorta nightshade type leaves... all on one plant, the various stages. Love it

Isn't it too close to the wooden wall 😊

Yes it is @gauravsh6 😆 I plan on moving all the babies into pots... the seeds came from the neighbors plant, hurricane flung the fruit everywhere! Stripped all the leaves and broke them all in half 😨

Natural Windy Pollination 😊
