Dwarf "Solo" Papaya is a true dwarf papaya that only grows to a height of 3-5 feet and will bear fruit within the first year of growth, given the right conditions. They are a great choice for growing tropical fruit if you live in the UK, as they can be container grown and easily be bought inside during winter months, and during the summer give your garden patio a tropical look, whilst producing tasty edible fruits. Comes with full instructions on how best to germinate and are for young plants. Solo variety seeds are 66% hermaphrodite and 33% female. Which means you are more likely to germinate a plant that is self fertile, so you do not need separate male and female plants to produce fruit! Papaya are very frost tender and can be killed in temperatures under 16'c. They are very unusual looking plants and will certainly add a stunning tropical look to your garden during the summer months and make a great houseplant over the winter period. Papaya do not like to be grown in soggy soil.
