It's hard to come up with a name that sticks!
Bruce the fruit of that girl will be yellow fleshed and not as sweet as the bisex ones.The plant does look impressive and has the typical dark petioles and reddish veins.I think with reaction people have when they see it in the flesh and the abundance of seeds the next generation will produce that BK papaya will soon be everywhere.It has taken so little time for this papaya to expand its horizons from an apparently limited base.
For me this papaya has been total disappointment. Two plants flowering non stop for six months (started to flower 8 months from seed), petioles never get dark red, never sets fruit. Does that mean those are male plants? One and final plant much slower growing started to flower, and petioles have been dark red from beginning. I guess I should expect fruit from this plant only?
Nice job Carlos on the tree and video, and congrats! Man, what a load of fruit. Like I said over the phone Pinkerton has Rincon as a parent (a variety I tried to graft but failed) which likes heat and is a small tree. It's a seedling of Hass X Rincon. In 2007, Colin Campbell, an avocado expert from Australia spoke highly of Pinkerton, one point he made was: "The best selection for the subtropics and warm temperate zones would be Pinkerton, Rincon, and Wurtz.
Can't wait to hear a taste test.

I'd put a flux capacitor in it, go back to 1957 and give Tony Abbott's mum the pill.
Or cut the bottoms out of them and make a couple of mean raised beds for the lychees. You could probably get 3-4 out of it, rather than just 2.
I don't think we'd need to go that far. I could just send it on a truck to lnp and they'd go back and unmake him party leader if impressions are anything to go by.
How much height do you reckon I'd need per raised bed? 40 cm or so?
Should hear from correy about that avocado today at some point too btw.
