Growing Information

The papaya tree requires full sun exposure, ideally 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-draining, sandy loam or potting mix rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. This plant thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and typically grows to heights of 10-15 feet. The live plants are usually 1-2 feet tall and ready for planting upon arrival.
