Papaya Tree
Papaya tree is a tropical fruit and native to the tropics of the Americas, and was cultivated in Mexico several centuries ago. It is sometimes called "tree melon" or "pawpaw", but the North America pawpaw is a different species, in the genus Asimina.
It is a large tree-like plant, the single stem grows about 10 meters tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne.
The leaves are large. They are about 50-70 cm diameter, and deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes. The tree is usually unbranched if unlopped.
The flowers are similiar in shape to the flowers of the Plumeria but are much smaller and wax like. They appear on the axils of the leaves, maturing into the large 15-45 cm long.
The fruit is about 10-30 cm in diameter. The fruit is ripe when it feels soft (like a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue. The fruit's taste is vaguely similiar to pineapple and peach, although much milder without the tartness.
