Any suggestions for a cultivar for pigeon peas? Or is there just one type. I'm guessing I can't easily import them from abroad.

Since I think I want the mountain papaya (cultivar Babaco) I might have to buy one plant first. Otherwise one from the store could be less cold hardy.The permie formerly known as "Mike Jay"

Yup.
If you have two females of different cultivars, can you get by with a male of a different cultivar to pollinate both of them? The permie formerly known as "Mike Jay"

For papayas, I'm planning on Babacos because they're a mountain papaya and more cold hardy. They're $30 ea so I was actually thinking of just getting one and maybe multiplying it with cuttings after a year or two. I'm assuming for that price it would be a female. If I propagate it and end up with several female clones, is that a good thing?.
