papaya

20 years ago

I have a papaya tree, I do not know what variety it is, but currently it is producing baseball sized fruits that are vibrant orange and sweet like honey. The proportion of seeds to fruit usually has more seeds than flesh, though the skin is thin and edible. This tree is growing incredile. The level of the fruit is probably about 12 feet off the ground. The fruit grow tightly packed together, usually causing the fruit to come off misformed

first of all, does anybody know what species this is?

Next, can anyone tell me how tall this thing is going to grow. I can barley reach it with my current ladder as it is.

Next, will the fruit ever get any bigger?

Also, should I try to prune off some of the fruit so that way they have more room to grow?

Sorry for all the questions. I hope some one can help me.

thanks. Have a nice day.
