It forms a single soft, hollow trunk topped with a crown of large, deeply lobed leaves and bears fruit almost continuously near the stem tip. Easy and rewarding, papaya thrives in warm, frost-free climates with good drainage and steady warmth. Rich in vitamins A and C and digestive enzymes, the fruit is a kitchen favourite, while the plant's bold foliage gives gardens an instant tropical character.
