Grow Your Own Delicious Papayas with the Solo Hawaiian Tropical Fruit Tree

Bring the tropics to your backyard with the Papaya Solo Hawaiian Tropical Fruit Tree. This tree offers the opportunity to grow your own sweet and juicy papayas right at home. Unlike generic, mass-produced fruit, homegrown papayas offer a unique flavor and satisfaction that can’t be beat. You’re bidding on one healthy, young tree ready to thrive in your garden.

There are two main types of papayas: Hawaiian and Mexican. The Hawaiian papaya varieties are the ones you commonly find in supermarkets. These pear-shaped fruits typically weigh around 1 pound and have a vibrant yellow skin when ripe. The flesh inside is a beautiful bright orange or pinkish hue, depending on the specific variety, with a cluster of small black seeds in the center. Hawaiian papayas are also easier to harvest because the plants seldom grow taller than 8 feet, making them perfect for home gardens.

Mexican papayas, on the other hand, are much larger than their Hawaiian counterparts. These can weigh up to 10 pounds and grow to be more than 15 inches long! The flesh of Mexican papayas can be yellow, orange, or pink. While the flavor may be slightly less intense than that of the Hawaiian papaya, it’s still incredibly delicious and enjoyable. They are also slightly easier to grow than Hawaiian papayas, making them a great option for beginner gardeners. A properly ripened papaya, no matter the variety, is juicy, sweetish, and has a flavor somewhat reminiscent of cantaloupe. The tropical fruit tree will bring a taste of the islands to your home.
