Re: subtropical papayas?:
Hi. I just saw these same pics on the heirloom website and wondering if you have any of those sweet sue seeds around? Just curious: You had only offered about 50 seeds at the other site and I wondered if this is because these papayas only produce a very few seeds?
Very curious and interested to try some Sweet Sue in this zone (9). I have some papayas growing in my backyard right now. I think there are 3 males (flowers but no fruits) and one female (really big flowers that are currently becoming fruits).
