Papaya Vasconcellea hybrids

Parent plants are a mix of several species, the best of which have red flowers and purple leaves with small, red fruits. The colour is a lucky dip and not guaranteed, however, this is the parent plant the seeds come from. Most seem to have red veins if not the true purple leaves.
The flesh when ripe is better than the Mountain Pawpaw. Can grow outdoors in a sheltered, well-draining, full-sun location. You might also enjoy our Carica papaya ‘Red Lady’ dwarf hybrid and our Oak-leaf Pawpaw
