'Red Lady' Papaya (Carica papaya 'Red Lady')

The 'Red Lady' Papaya is a vibrant and prolific fruit-bearing plant known for its sweet, reddish-orange fruit and its adaptability to various growing conditions. Originating from the tropics, it has gained popularity among gardeners and fruit enthusiasts alike due to its flavor and ornamental appeal.

Common Names:

Since it belongs to the papaya family, it can also be generically referred to as Papaya or Pawpaw in some regions.

Best Growing Environment:

'Red Lady' Papayas prefer well-draining soils that are rich in organic matter. Although they can handle various soil types, sandy loam to loamy soils is ideal. Regularly adding compost or aged manure can improve soil fertility and boost growth.

Average Height:

Typically, 'Red Lady' Papaya plants can reach an average height of 8-12 feet. They have a relatively slender trunk adorned with large, lobed leaves.

Growth Rate:

'Red Lady' Papayas showcase a rapid growth rate, especially in their initial years. Given the proper conditions, they can start fruiting within 6-12 months after planting.

Sun Requirements:

These plants thrive best in full sunlight. A minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily is essential for healthy growth and optimal fruit production.

Cold Hardiness:

'Red Lady' Papayas are tropical plants and are sensitive to cold temperatures. They are best suited for USDA zones 10-11. Prolonged exposure to temperatures below 32F can be detrimental, and frost can be fatal.

Water Requirements:

While they do appreciate consistent moisture, especially during the fruiting stage, overwatering or allowing the plants to sit in water can lead to root rot. It's essential to water deeply but ensure the soil dries out slightly between watering sessions.

Detailed Fertilizing Guide:

  1. Seedlings: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer with a ratio like 14-14-14.
  2. Juvenile to Fruiting Stage: As the plant grows, switch to a higher potassium and phosphorous fertilizer to support flowering and fruiting, like 10-30-10.
  3. Mature Plants: Monthly applications of compost or well-rotted manure can help maintain soil fertility. Regularly provide minor elements, especially iron, to prevent deficiencies.

Planting Guide:

  1. Site Selection: Choose a sunny, well-draining location sheltered from strong winds.
  2. Planting Hole: The hole should be twice as wide as the root ball and of similar depth.
  3. Positioning: Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it's straight. The top of the root ball should be level with the ground.
  4. Soil Backfill: Refill the hole, patting down gently to remove air pockets. Water generously to help the plant settle.

USDA Zone:

'Red Lady' Papaya is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It thrives in tropical and subtropical conditions. In cooler zones, it's best grown in containers and moved indoors during colder months.

The 'Red Lady' Papaya offers a touch of the tropics, whether you're cultivating it for its delicious fruits or for its tropical aesthetic appeal. With the right conditions and care, it promises a bountiful harvest and an enchanting presence in any garden.

Uses same battery as the rest of my equipment
Size: 8" Edger New
Since I already have and like the Greenworks mower, string trimmer and blower it only made sense to get the edger. Even better that I didn’t need to buy more batteries. I tried another name brand electric edger and returned it for not holding a charge. This one works great! There’s charge left in the battery after everything has been edged. I was concerned how easy it would be to control but fell in love with it first time I used it. To use just pop the battery in, flip the thumb lever, squeeze and edge. Not as noisy as gas powered equipment and no cords to pull. Feels sturdy in my hands and a good weight that’s enough to not pop up if it hits something but not too much to be heavy to carry back to the shed.

First use was great!
I've used it just the one time today. I had previously "edged" with a string weedwhacker, so while the grass was cut back some, there wasn't a trench dug out. I did a gentle push and pull, taking on about 18" at a time to get a new trench dug next to the sidewalk edge. It did a great job! The entire unit was much heavier and sturdy looking than I was afraid it would be for the price, so pleasantly surprised. Assembly wasn't complicated, but it did take two of us to hold it steady because getting the screws to seat in the square hole and not have the cord in the way was a bit tricky. I'm a 70+ lady, not large and not athletic, but I was able to handle this edger with ease. Now, to see how long it lasts!

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.
