Details
Juicy, sweet, healthy, and vibrant, the papaya is a tropical fruit-bearing tree native to Central and South America. It’s rich in color, full of vitamins, and a gorgeous landscape treat. Papaya’s large palmate leaves can reach up to 10 feet in height! The sweet taste & fast growth of our ‘Red Lady’ variety is an excellent choice for southern gardens or as a tropical container plant in the north.
Note: arrives in a grower’s pot. Fruit may not be in season at time of shipping.
