I'm wondering about my Mexican Papaya. It is listed as introduced. When I researched it I found

"It is native to the tropics of the Americas, and was first cultivated in Mexico several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classic cultures"

In one source I found it included the Lower Rio Grande Valley, maybe cultivated is the key word here.

Seems when ever I lose one, I get a volunteer to take it's place. Last year we had a freeze and lost them all. Here's the new volunteer that came up this spring.
