Carica Papaya

Approximately ~12 seeds per packet.

Germination: 71% Packed for 2025

Native to tropical regions of the Americas, particularly southern Mexico and Central America this tropical fruit plant is now cultivated in most tropical countries. In the continental USA it will thrive in zones 9 – 10. It also does well in Hawaii (zone 12).

The papaya tree is a fast-growing, herbaceous plant (producing soft flexible green stems above the ground).   This tree can reach up to 33 feet (10 meters) in height, growing rapidly and fruiting within three years.

Small and sparsely branched, with leaves arranged spirally at the top of the trunk, the papaya tree leaves are large, lobed, and palmate. The leaves can reach up to 24 inches (60 centimeters) in diameter.

Usually fragrant and tubular in shape, papaya tree flowers are small, white to cream-colored. With a hermaphrodite flower, which can self-pollinate, male and female hermaphroditic flowers can occur on the same plant.

The fruit is a large berry, ripening to a large, oval or pear-shaped berry, that is amber to orange hue when soft. Skin color ranges from green to yellow or orange as it ripens. They can weigh between 1 to 20 pounds. The flesh is sweet, juicy, and typically orange or red when ripe, with black seeds clustered in the center. Papaya have a shallow but extensive fibrous root system.

Papaya is consumed raw when ripe, either without skin or seeds, and cooked when unripe, often in curries, salads, or stews. Papaya skin, pulp, and seeds contain several phytochemicals, including carotenoids and polyphenols, as well as benzyl isothiocyanates and glucosinates.

Growing Guidance for Carica Papaya

Prefers tropical and subtropical climates. Ideal temperature range:  70-90°F (21-33°C). Sensitive to frost and prolonged cold weather. Requires high humidity and ample sunlight. Well-draining, fertile soil is crucial. The pH range should be 5.5 to 7.0. Avoid waterlogged or compacted soils.

Planting, Spacing, & Watering: Best propagated from seeds. Seeds should be sown fresh, directly into the soil or in containers. Plant seeds about 0.4-0.8 inches (1-2 centimeters) deep. Germination occurs within 2-3 weeks. Space plants 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) apart. Ensure adequate air circulation to prevent diseases. Regular, deep watering is essential. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging. Drip irrigation is recommended for optimal growth.

Fertilization: Balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply fertilizer every 2-3 months. Supplement with micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, and iron if needed. Minimal pruning required. Remove dead or diseased leaves to promote air circulation and reduce pest problems.

Pest and Disease Management:  Common pests: aphids, whiteflies, fruit flies, spider mites. Common diseases: papaya ringspot virus, anthracnose, powdery mildew. Integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, including biological control, can be effective. Regular monitoring for signs of stress, pests, and diseases. Mulching around the base can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting: Fruits typically mature within 6-9 months after flowering. Harvest when the skin starts to turn yellow. Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree to avoid damage. Papaya plants have a relatively short lifespan, typically producing fruit for 3-4 years.

By following these guidelines, you can expect healthy growth and productive yields of Carica papaya in suitable climates and vegetation zones.

Amazingly great product!
Color: Grilled color
I’m not just saying this, ok, this is not hyperbole: this is THE best nylon bone for chewing that I have ever purchased. And you get TWO of them for relatively less expensive than most chew toys give you one! I have 2 golden retrievers, and if you know goldens, you know that they are some of the most relentless and powerful chewers around. So I can’t give them almost any toy other than rubber stuff or it will be destroyed in a period of time that doesn’t make it worth it. One of them even figured out how to destroy a supposedly indestructible toy made out of kevlar! She was able to get into it through the seam, which is not kevlar ha ha. Anyway, I digress; I never even considered nylon chews because they suck! Usually. Usually my dogs in the past have lost interest with them in less than a day. I took a chance on these mainly because of the novel shapes, the fact that they give you two, and the low price. Both my goldens LOVE these! Not just for one day, but going on weeks now! I don’t know if it’s the flavor or what, but I will see them gnawing on one of them at some point every day. And they CAN’T destroy them (I knew nylon was good for that, but it was the “who cares” attitude of my previous dogs toward nylon that kept me away). Both the “ribs” and “steak” (quite clever) are a bit worn on the edges now, but they look like they will be around for years. You can’t go wrong with this product (unless for some reason your dog does not like the flavor, but the flavor seems to be what draws my dogs to them). I highly recommend this (these) as the most cost-effective chew toy I’ve ever purchased.

Great for larger dogs
Color: Grilled color
I think they were heavy duty and durable, but they were too heavy for my dog. The seller was excellent though!

It ok but a bit small for my golden and I have to supervise him.
Color: Grilled color
I don't recommend. Too big for my small dog. Too small for my big dog. They have similar bones but these just seem odd. ** WELL actually after some time they both will chew on them, especially my golden. Do be careful watch the dog while chewing. My home health care aid thought they were real. they are holding up well.
