Botanical name: Carica papaya
Common name: Dwarf Papaya
Cultivar: Dwarf
Family: Caricaceae










Carica papaya is a fast growing herbaceous plant with thick, hollow trunk. Leaves lobed to 2' across. Flowers/fruit appear in nodes directly from trunk. Size varies from 1/2 to 20 pounds. Flesh is yellow to orange-red, melon-like.
Dwarf papayas are fruit-bearing trees that grow to heights of less than 10 feet. In fact, many varieties stop at between 3 and 5 feet.
They grow smaller, making them ideal for small gardens, pots, or containers.
Fruits are closer to the ground, so you can pick them without climbing or special tools.
Dwarf papayas often produce fruit faster than taller varieties. Despite their size, they produce a lot of fruit.
Perfect for urban areas or where space is limited.
Easier to care for and manage compared to larger trees.
