25x Red Papaya Maradol Seeds Mexican Variety

Papaya trees, also known as “paw-paws”, are fast-growing with a short life span, reaching 15 feet or higher in optimal conditions. The fruit can be either of the Hawaiian or Mexican variety. Fruit "berries" can be one pound and sweet (Hawaiian) or up to 10 pounds and milder (Mexican). This listing is for the Maradol Mexican variety. Red Maradol papayas come from Mexico and range from 2 to 8 pounds with edible seeds. The trees are easily grown in containers, but require lots of watering and fertilizer to produce the heavy fruits. NOTE: Container-grown trees dry out very quickly and the tree requires a lot of water for fruit establishment. Papayas do not need pruning due to their short life span. All our garden seeds are hand-selected and packaged in resealable bags (each bag is individually labeled), and for the current growing season. The seeds are from organically grown plants grown in Ojai, California. All our papaya seeds are naturally grown. All seeds are shipped in recycled paper envelopes.
