Papaya ID help + trim height recommendation
« on: August 16, 2022, 06:05:15 PM »
Purchased what was supposed to be Solo Sunset seeds and this is what grew.  It is a hrm (woohoo) but obviously not a dwarf tree.  Currently ~14ft tall and still growing.

Anyone know what type this likely is?  No mature fruit yet but largest so far is pictured with hand for reference.  I would like to get an idea of how tall it might get by the variety.  I don't want it getting much taller.

Any suggestions about stunting it at this point or topping it?
Also some fruit at top is appearing misshapen (star shape instead of round & oblong).  Is this common and will these actually turn into fruit?

Thanks in advance!
