Please help ID this papaya!!

(1/1)

Meo:
Please help, its about at least 3-4 years old, growing in my back yard, i think a neighbor gave it to us.  Usually it doesn't have any seed, but this one has a few.  Quite tasty, thank you!!

pineislander:
Naming the papaya is very difficult because the fruit size and shape can be variable even on the same tree. Yours look consistent with thick flesh. Second picture may show some ringspot virus but could just be where fruit touch each other. Good luck.

roblack:
Shape of the fruit reminds of Coorg Honey Dew. The fruit on mine usually has very little seeds.

Meo:
Thanks!!!  I read up on the Coorg Honey Dew, if this is what it is, all the seedlings will be hermaphrodite!!!  That's awesome, I can keep on having this fine papaya for a long time.
