Papaya trees are tropical wonders with a unique and striking appearance. They have a single, tall, slender trunk that typically grows between 10 to 30 feet in height. At the top of the trunk, a crown of large, green, lobed leaves spreads out like an umbrella, creating a lush, tropical vibe. The tree bears clusters of papaya fruits that hang directly from the trunk or lower part of the crown. The fruits are oval or pear-shaped, starting green and gradually ripening to shades of yellow or orange. When cut open, papayas reveal their vibrant orange flesh and a cluster of black, round seeds in the center. These trees thrive in warm, sunny climates, adding a cheerful and exotic touch to any garden.
