OAK LEAF PAPAYA (Vasconcellea quercifolia)  

This variety is a taller growing tree and bears a small orange fruit that is arguabily the best tasting of the cold hardy Papayas,  you can eat the skin and all.  It will drop it's leaves in winter and looks spectacular with the orange fruit on the bare trunk. Mature plants are hardy to mild frost. The fruit is small and high in papain, which makes it a little more like the tropical papaya. 


We have seed grown and cutting growing plants.

 

We recommend at least three if you are buying seedlings to ensure you get a fruiting female or hermaphrodite
