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.

  1. 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)

  2. 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)

  3. 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! 🌴🍊

Mulberry Fuel: Set it and forget it for 90 days

While we call it Mulberry Fuel after our favorite fruiting tree, this fertilizer can really be used on any fruiting plant to ensure its plans come to fruition.

Apply the granules of this 20-6-9, slow-release formula to the soil surface of your plants and they will slowly feed them over a 90-day period.
