Trying to grow tropical papayas in a non-tropical zone — wish me luck!

@KS_razerback

where you can grow them as garden annual?

I think that some of us might have luck in having their papaya regrow from a winter freeze and produce fruit in most years.

@Johnsgard

Some make it through our freezes and in their second or third year easily produce 50-100 pounds of fruit each. I started harvesting ripe fruit last October from just 3 “trees”
