I am willing to bet that everyone has heard of a Papaya Tree (Carica papaya) or Mamao before. If not, Papaya can grow anywhere from 20' to 30' tall and blooms all year long with very fragrant white flowers. Papaya should be planted 8' to 10' apart to allow room to grow. The fruit should be picked a few days early. I just planted mine in the ground back in March. It was about 4' tall and did not look so healthy. I planted it and started fertilizing and watering it regularly. My Papaya Tree is exploding now. Here are some pictures of my Papaya Tree (Carica papaya).
This is my Papaya Tree as of 3-23-2009.

This is a close up of the bottom side of the leaf. Look closely and you can see a pesky caterpillar.
This is a close up of the top of the leaves.
I hope you enjoyed this post. See you again next time!
