I still remember the time I lived in San Antonio as a kid. My parents brought back a giant papaya from a trip over the border into Mexico. It was huge, the size of a large pumpkin. My mom cut into it, and OH!! the smell!
It smelled more like an equally sized dung pile than a fruit. I honestly couldn't tell you if the fruit tasted good, because the smell was so overwhelming!
If anyone knows a variety suited to Florida, that would not have a 'musky'(?) odor, please tell us!
