PAW PAW SEEDS - Carica papaya
Papaya originated in the lowland tropics of South America, but today you find papayas growing everywhere in the tropics and subtropics. It often grows wild, and every tropical food garden has several papaya trees.
To grow good papayas you need a frost free climate, lots of sunlight, lots of water and very good soil.
Papaya trees grow best in hot weather with a lot of sunlight. When you plant the seeds be sure to place them in an area free of shade.
Papayas are a short lived plant and the younger ones produce more fruit, so keep a succession of plants to ensure a steady crop.
Papaya plants need to planted in a well drained area. They are very susceptible to rotting if they are over watered.
