I planted this cluster of Thai Dwarf papayas on July 27th, as 5" (12cm) seedlings, now they're almost 4' (1.2 m) tall. Photo taken Nov. 3, 2015.

Papaya plants are extremely difficult to grow outside tropical/ warm subtropical climates. They're also a high-maintenance plant (for fruit production).

It was just a whim grown from some seed in a fruit.

It would grow well in a heated greenhouse there, with lots of light. They need a lot of sun and heat to product flowers and develop fruit. They're sensitive to the slightest cold. A hint of frost can cause the leaves to fall off and even a light frost can kill a large plant (depending on variety) or damage them badly.
