A tip for anyone growing these from store bought seeds, you can't grow seeds from papayas grown in Hawaii because they are radiated.

I've been able to grow them from store bought seeds in the past 2 years, both Mexican and Hawaiian. Maybe the irradiation doesn't sterilize the seed. Anyone else grow them from Hawaiian seeds from store bought fruit recently. Maybe I had "Hawaiian" solos that weren't from Hawaii.

Thanks for the link. I usually try to buy local in hopes of a more acclimated plant but I might give this one a try. I have had luck with store bought mexican papayas sprouting but not the hawaiian.

Maybe... I tried growing a store bought one from Belize and it never germinated.

And the variety was named "carribean red".
