The warmer the climate the better these fruit are in terms of sweetness and flavour. They are much better from a bisex plant.

For those having to endure long germination times, I'll give you a pointer for the papaya seeds.

Simply put the seeds in the pot and keep the soil moist outside in filtered light/shade for 3 days.  Then, sit the pot in your garage.

They'll start popping up within days.

I had a beautiful Broadleaf that I got from Gary die on me this spring, its root was rotted, not sure what caused it as it was not overwatered at all.

Probably nematodes
