END OF LINE! Papaya Vasconcellea ‘Heavy Cropper’
END OF LINE, once these sell out they won't be available again.
Seeds from our hardiest and heaviest producing tree.Leaves and all fruit are retained over winter (in Northland)with some ripening throughout the year. The main flowering isSpring and Summer. The pollen parent is unknown as thereare several male Vasconcellea in the garden however sincethe tree sets fruit in winter when there is no flowering fromthe other Vasconcellea it may be self seeded.The inner fruit flesh is sweet but the fruit is quite smallcompared to most other clones. The outer flesh is not veryinteresting but no doubt cooking briefly would make it moreenticing. Fully ripe fruits fall from the tree in good condition.The photographed tree is close to 4 m in height and has been in the ground for four years.
Germination
Seeds need warmth to germinate and can take 4 or more
weeks to come up with germination being erratic.
