I thought I'd pass this observation to would be Papaya lovers!

Observing some seeds that sprouted wild in the garden, I noticed that seeds coming up in very loose soil with large mulch grew extremely fast, in fact the same tree that volunteered in very little soil is 5 times the size of others growing from the same time. Sooo...I prepared a loose mixture with quarter sized pine bark mixed in, and the propagation rate is off the hook.

PS...Jenny, the Papaya seeds you sent..are they hermaphrodite? My one tree is growing fruit...I didn't expect that.
