Carica papaya - Brazilian Papaya Fruit

They look great, I am envious.

I ate a smaller one from the other side of the plant and it was super sweet, just like candy. 😃

I was going to ask you, Andy, if they are edible then I saw your post above! :)

Balcony,

I’ve been growing papayas for 25 years. Home-grown papayas are literally a thousand percent better than the ones sold in the store. Most people I talk to hate papayas, it’s because they’ve never eaten a real ripe papaya. Papayas don’t build up their sugars until they turn yellow or orange.

I've never had Papayas. :( I've had a few Mangos but I don't know if they are similar.

Balcony,

Papaya fruit are very sweet and tasty, but you must go to a tropical or subtropical climate to taste a good one.

I see that as being rather difficult! :D :D :D
