the taste is not as good as other varieties... like Gaek Dam (blows out anything sold in Hawaii) you could call this like a 'cooking papaya'
If you want in January can send you seeds, but not sure if true to seed. I have no males on property now, but several hermies of Gaek Dam I think are still hanging around. Lost my giant male Gaek Dam in monsoon last year.

I got mine from them, but it has green leaf stems. It could be either with green or red leaf stem.

I am confused from which varieties are males, females or hermies you have there
-
