"Solo" papayas

10 years ago

I bought a "Solo" papaya today because I read that the seeds do not make male plants, only female and hermaphrodite. They say that there are usually 1/3 female and 2/3 hermaphtodite seeds. How many seedlings would you suggest I plant to ensure I get at least one hermaphrodite plant? I don't mind growing several together to see what they are, and then removing some. My plant now has female flowers, but they never open, just fall off, so that will be coming out soon if things don't change. There is no time to get ripe fruits from it this year, so maybe one or two green ones, but honestly, I don't think it's ever going to have viable blooms.
