I've been growing them for a few years now. I dried the seeds from one I bought at the store. They are suppose to be male/female/hermaphrodite. I must have picked the one that can change to male or female, as every tree has bore fruit. I treat them like perennials. I've started papayas this june that will over winter in pots, to be planted next spring when it's warm enough.
This one is about 4 feet tall, notice how small the pot is. This is so it can over winter in the green house, or just a warm location on a patio or deck. I will keep them root bound like this till spring, then plant in the ground and they will take off.
