Carica Papaya

Approximately ~12 seeds per packet.

Germination: 71% Packed for 2025

Native to tropical regions of the Americas, particularly southern Mexico and Central America this tropical fruit plant is now cultivated in most tropical countries. In the continental USA it will thrive in zones 9 – 10. It also does well in Hawaii (zone 12).

The papaya tree is a fast-growing, herbaceous plant (producing soft flexible green stems above the ground).   This tree can reach up to 33 feet (10 meters) in height, growing rapidly and fruiting within three years.

Small and sparsely branched, with leaves arranged spirally at the top of the trunk, the papaya tree leaves are large, lobed, and palmate. The leaves can reach up to 24 inches (60 centimeters) in diameter.

Usually fragrant and tubular in shape, papaya tree flowers are small, white to cream-colored. With a hermaphrodite flower, which can self-pollinate, male and female hermaphroditic flowers can occur on the same plant.

The fruit is a large berry, ripening to a large, oval or pear-shaped berry, that is amber to orange hue when soft. Skin color ranges from green to yellow or orange as it ripens. They can weigh between 1 to 20 pounds. The flesh is sweet, juicy, and typically orange or red when ripe, with black seeds clustered in the center. Papaya have a shallow but extensive fibrous root system.

Papaya is consumed raw when ripe, either without skin or seeds, and cooked when unripe, often in curries, salads, or stews. Papaya skin, pulp, and seeds contain several phytochemicals, including carotenoids and polyphenols, as well as benzyl isothiocyanates and glucosinates.

Growing Guidance for Carica Papaya

Prefers tropical and subtropical climates. Ideal temperature range:  70-90°F (21-33°C). Sensitive to frost and prolonged cold weather. Requires high humidity and ample sunlight. Well-draining, fertile soil is crucial. The pH range should be 5.5 to 7.0. Avoid waterlogged or compacted soils.

Planting, Spacing, & Watering: Best propagated from seeds. Seeds should be sown fresh, directly into the soil or in containers. Plant seeds about 0.4-0.8 inches (1-2 centimeters) deep. Germination occurs within 2-3 weeks. Space plants 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) apart. Ensure adequate air circulation to prevent diseases. Regular, deep watering is essential. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging. Drip irrigation is recommended for optimal growth.

Fertilization: Balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply fertilizer every 2-3 months. Supplement with micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, and iron if needed. Minimal pruning required. Remove dead or diseased leaves to promote air circulation and reduce pest problems.

Pest and Disease Management:  Common pests: aphids, whiteflies, fruit flies, spider mites. Common diseases: papaya ringspot virus, anthracnose, powdery mildew. Integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, including biological control, can be effective. Regular monitoring for signs of stress, pests, and diseases. Mulching around the base can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting: Fruits typically mature within 6-9 months after flowering. Harvest when the skin starts to turn yellow. Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree to avoid damage. Papaya plants have a relatively short lifespan, typically producing fruit for 3-4 years.

By following these guidelines, you can expect healthy growth and productive yields of Carica papaya in suitable climates and vegetation zones.

Gus the goose Buster's new bff
My pitbull terrier loves his goose and has not tore this up but he had not tried either. He's funny with soft toys but loves A good tug of war or actual chew toy.

Fun Goose Dog Toy
I have a small dog with about 20 plush toys to play with. Added to her inventory now is the ILC Buy Interactive Goose Toy for Small Breeds. It took me a while to figure out where the toy "squeaks", and it makes the noise when the white banded neck around the goose is squeezed. My dog took an immediate liking to the toy and loves to carry it around the house, shaking her head back and forth with the goose in her mouth. It appears to be made primarily of burlap (see pictures) and is about 12-13" in length. Fortunately, my dog doesn't destroy toys, as some (probably larger) dogs do, so it appears to be pretty sturdy and well-made. After a week of playing with it regularly, the toy still looks brand new. I like the coloring and the size of the goose, and this is a nice addition to my dog's playtime routine. It is also priced appropriately for a dog toy of its size and quality. Recommended. Made in China.

Durable toy with a single squeaker
This goose seems to be made of fairly durable fabric. It's not flimsy. I had a hard time finding the squeaker in it at first, but then I realized the squeaker is located in the white neck! My medium border collie grabbed it first. Then my pitbull figured out where the squeaker was and ran around squeaking it for a while, which is her favorite thing to do. So this toy did get some interest from the pitbull especially. She isn't one to chew things up but really enjoys toys that make noise. Since the squeaker is in the skinny neck portion, it made it easy for her to grab hold of it and squeak it over and over again. I am giving this 4 stars only because in the whole long body of this toy, the neck has the only squeaker. I think it would have been better and more stimulating for my dogs if it had multiple squeakers or even some crinkles in the rest of the body...at least some crinkles in the flat feet of the duck. The sole attraction is that one squeaker in the neck. So it could be better, but I do like that it isn't super plush and full of stuffing that would be torn up in 5 minutes like most toys. My pitbull actually took this to another room away from her three sisters, so that means she really wanted to play with this by herself. That's a good sign.

Duck-time is play-time! Exactly what a dog toy should be!
Duck hunting for your living-room princess-pal best buddy goodest puppy in the world! Every dog deserves a chance to be a heroic duck hunting hero! This dog toy is a favorite of my pup. Duck-time is play time! This duck is made with several fabulous textures. There's a ropey texture around the neck, a burlap type texture for the body and head, and a felt-like texture for the bill and feet. My dog immediately tore the feet off! He always removes any hanging bits from all toys, so that's not a comment to the detriment of this product. He's working on the wings, now. My dog likes to chase this toy when I throw it or play tug-of-war with it, or is willing to sit and chomp on it by himself for a while. The rope is intact, still! This is exactly what a dog toy should be! Give your little buddy a hunting trophy!

Speaker broken
This toy is advertised as having a squeaker, but the one we had was defective and did not make any noise. Our dog still throughly enjoyed ripping this little duck to shreds through. The material was thicker than I was expecting but still only took our dog about 5 mins to completely destroy it (Golden retriever). I understand that this toy is marketed as for small dogs so I get that, but took away three starts because our came with the broken squeaker and for $10, you can find a lot better toys at TJ Max. This item is not a good value for our experience.
