Carica papaya
growing in my garden in Tamil Nadu, India
Tamil name is Pappali
these are so healthy.
Oh dear, I wish my trees looked like that this year. Lost nearly all of them due to some disease that rotted the roots! Not 1 papaya this season! Luckily they grow quickly and produce fruit in 9 months...
thanks Arun, should that go as the common name, or where to place it?
