LOL...wow..sounds like it was big tree! I have to admit that it took me some time to develop the taste for Papaya..the ones I grew in 2006 were delicious, had a nice peachy flavor to it..and very sweet.

aah...the bloom in the back ground is a Brazilian Cloak.. it's looking a bit pathetic.

Last year was the first winter I had lost Papaya trees to a freeze..
This is what it looked like...I called it Papaya on a stick.

I lost a couple of trees...but believe it or not...this one in the picture came back.
