So, just picked up a young Solo Papaya tree at my local HD yesterday. Looks like a surprisingly healthy specimen, and have it repotted in a large pot on our patio.

Here's my question. I know that Papaya trees love full sun, but I've also heard of them doing okay in shade. Our patio gets about half and half. Shade during the morning, and blazing hot sun in the afternoon into evening.

Do you think this is an okay place for it? I have somewhere where it can get full sun all day, but it's kind of hidden from view, and would prefer it on the patio.

Thanks!
