This 3-pack of papaya trees features three self-fertile and productive varieties that will add a touch of the tropics to your garden, with fruits that range from sweet and juicy to seedless and refreshing. These papayas thrive in full sun and well-drained soils, perfect for zones 9-11.
Tainung Papaya Tree – A semi-dwarf variety with over 2 pounds of fruit on average. Known for its self-fertility, this tree is easy to grow and does not need another plant for pollination. It's a great option for smaller gardens or containers. (Mature height: 8-12 feet, Light: Full sun, Soil: Well-drained, Zones: 9b-11)
Babaco Papaya – Also called Mountain Papaya, it’s perfect for cooler climates, as it can survive winters just above freezing. This variety produces long, juicy, seedless fruit, making it a unique choice for fruit lovers. (Mature height: 4-8 feet, Light: Full sun, Soil: Well-drained, Zones: 9-10)
T.R. Hovey Dwarf Papaya – This self-fertile dwarf variety produces up to 3.5-pound fruit, with an impressive 40-60 fruits per year. Great for small spaces, the tree flowers quickly and ripens fruit within 6-8 weeks. (Mature height: 4-6 feet, Light: Full sun, Soil: Rich, porous, well-drained, Zones: 9-11)
This papaya trio will bring fresh, tropical flavor to your homegrown garden and is great for gardeners looking to grow fruit in smaller spaces or enjoy the exotic beauty of papayas! 🌴🍊
We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.
Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.
New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.
Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.
That's why you have 30 days from the arrival date to experiment with them. If they don't bounce back, you're eligible for a refund.
Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
