Red Lady Papaya has a high yield of fruit that's similar but sweeter and tastier than the variety you can buy at the grocery store. The flavor resembles melons. Red Lady often starts to fruit when it reaches just 4-feet tall. Not sure if your fruit is ripe yet? Just let it stay on the tree until about a third of the skin changes color and then pull it off to ripen at room temperature. Like bananas, papayas get sweeter as they ripen. This papaya is self-fertile.

The plants arrived a little scraggly from shipping (it is HOT here), but as soon as I watered them and let them rest under a covered porch, they leafed out immediately. Thank you!
