I personally can't stand them and I'd have rather eaten a few puke flavored papaya. That was BEFORE my neighbor grabbed a few deep black samples from his yard and asked me to try them. I gotta say at least from HIS bush, I'd rather eat his Surinam cherry than a puke flavored papaya :-)
It's not saying much but the possibility of a dessert Surinam is still a dim possibility.
Gary, my wife discovered a papaya that doesn't taste pukey; like you, she doesn't appreciate strong papaya flavor, so she kept propagating this one that has less sweetness but definitive floral fragrance, fresh "clean" taste, almost like a honeydew. I like very sweet (don't mind musky) papayas and don't care for "her" variety but she really loves it. Next time we see each other I can share seeds if you want.
Oddly enough, while we have had no severe cold, it has been chilly all winter--which is what lychee needs.
About what temperature is the threshold between chilly and severe cold? I planted a lychee last summer.
