I have some good looking mountain papaya (carica pubescens) seedlings here in Oakland, CA and that I would like to make available to anyone interested in picking them up. I have about twelve in 4 inch pots. They took a while to germinate however I ended up with more plants than I needed
The fruit is not as sweet as a tropical papaya however the plant is very pretty cold hardy below freezing. I am excited to use it as more of a vegetable and with meat for tenderizing. It is listed on the slow food arc of taste.
Direct message me if you are interested in some nice mountain papaya plants.
Cheers,
David
