1) it is grass, and
2) it can go transgender!
The secret facts of Papaya's private life.
- 📌 Did you know that Papaya technically is not a tree? It is a large herbaceous plant, usually with a single, straight trunk that can reach 30 feet!
- 📌 Many dwarf varieties available in selection, reaching only 6-8 ft tall, but producing large crops of full size fruit - they are easy to harvest.
- 📌 Papaya trees have very complex gender mechanism, but the bottom line is - the tree can chance its sex based on conditions! Many varieties are self-fertile, but it always recommended to plant a few trees for cross-pollination and better yield.
- 📌 The sweetest Papaya is from so called "Solo" cultivars: the fruit is usually round or oval, on a smaller side, but super sweet.
- 📌 Fruit from Solo cultivars are not susceptible to fruit flies.
- 📌 Being officially a tropical plant, Papaya is pretty cold resistant and can withstand light freeze without significant damage.
- 📌 Surprisingly, Papayas are also hurricane-resistant plants and can take strong winds without damage. They still stand when other trees are down!
- 📌 Papaya is one of the Super-Foods thanks to papain - a natural enzyme containing in this fruit. Papaya fruit offers the best digestive aid! Eat some papaya after each meal to maintain healthy digestion.
- 📌 Try papaya leaf wraps for cooking meats - you won't need a meat tenderizer!
- 📌 Easy to grow trees, Papayas don't take any space in the garden, but bring so much goodness into your life!
