~RED LADY~
cultivar
(imported from Thailand)
carica papaya
‘Red Lady’ is a self-fertile hybrid whose fruits often weigh 3-5 pounds. Two-pound fruits are more
common for container grown plants.
The oblong papaya is orange-red, sweet and juicy when ripe. Rich in vitamins A, C and other nutrients, it
also contains papain, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of protein.
Harvest the fruit when the skin yields slightly to the touch and changes
from green to yellow. You’ll notice a sweet, delicious aroma when it’s fully ripe.

~Fruit of Angels~
Papaya plants produce flowers that are either male, female or
hermaphrodite. Male plants do not produce fruit. Female plants must be pollinated by either male or hermaphrodite flowers to produce
fruit. Hermaphrodites are self fruiting and the most desirable kind. The Hawaiian Solo papaya produce seedlings that are either female or
hermaphrodite but no males. 30% will be female and 60% will be hermaphrodite so you are always assured that you have a plant that
can produce fruit.
This is a very easy plant to grow whether in the ground in frost free areas or pot grown in cold winter climates. The taste of tree
ripened papaya is so much better than what you find in the grocery store.
Early, vigorous & high-yielding
hybrid papaya variety that has a potential yield of up to 120,000 kg./ha
in a two year productive life cycle.
One tree can produce 50 to 120
fruits with an average fruit weight of 1.5 to 2 kilos per fruit.
Semi-dwarf height, begins to bear fruit at 50 to 80 cm height.
Excellent fruit quality: thick,
firm, red flesh, great tasting, aromatic and very sweet (13-14% sugar
content).
Female plants produce short-oblong
fruits while bisexual or hermaphrodites are elongated. Good shipper and
long shelf life.
Red Lady is highly tolerant to
Papaya Ringspot Virus.
Early maturing: harvestable at 8
to 9 months from sowing.

~Red Lady~
Thai
Papaya
An early and productive
fruiter, ‘Red Lady’ is an excellent papaya for southern gardens or as a
tropical container fruiting plant in the north. The dwarf tree starts to
flower and set fruit during its second year when the plant reaches 4’
tall. It can fruit the first year, if grown in high light with an
extended growing season.
Tropical papaya is a fruit that used to be
relatively unknown outside of the tropics, but today you can find it just
about any supermarket. Papaya fruit is loaded with nutrients so there is much
to be gained if this fruit strikes your fancy. One serving has high fiber
and potassium, iron, calcium, plus the daily requirement of vitamin A and
three days worth of vitamin C. Papaya contains antioxidants which can
protect from certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer, and is known to
help with digestive problems.
Papaya is eaten just like a melon. Shaped somewhat like a pear,
papaya is very sweet but does not have a
high sugar content. Green papayas contain the most papain, which is an
enzyme that is used to tenderize meat and help with inflammation in the
human body.
Papaya has bright yellow to green mottled skin. When
ripe, the outside skin will be more of a golden color. Other types of papayas turn pink or orange
inside when they are ripe. Christopher Columbus called
papayas the “fruit of angels”.
Some people say papaya tastes like an apricot sprinkled with ginger. The
fruit is used in all types of recipes--meat marinades, salads, and is often
added to other fruits in both smoothies and dried fruit and nut mixtures.
Red papaya adds nutrients to whatever dish you make with it. High fiber
helps to regulate and clean out your colon. All together it contains a whole
group of vitamins, including A, C, E, B-9 and K.
In addition to vitamins, Papaya contains antioxidants, known as phytochemicals, which can protect the body from heart disease and certain
forms of cancer. These antioxidants protect the body from toxins known as
free radicals, which can attack cells. Papaya also contains a couple of
enzymes which are good at digesting protein. These are chymopapain and
papain. One of the benefits of these substances is that they can help reduce
inflammation for people who have arthritis, osteoarthritis, or asthma.

Payment
We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a
week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special
stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This
can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If
payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be
shipped the following week and lose the combined discount
opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative
feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON
LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.
We will combine shipping
for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal
payment.
This policy is good
for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending
MONDAY.
We ship on Tuesdays.
Payment must be
received within 4 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay
the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the
same species in that item it does calculate out the discount
(i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined
shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification
and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you
want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep,
packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every
last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3
days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours),
then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Before you purchase |
After you Receive
your Items. |
When you order a plant
we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some
research before they arrive or seek experienced help.
Small plants
need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They
do well just in the garage or living room. They need good
light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants).
Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of
water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from
dehydrating.
Be
careful if you decide to re-pot.
Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged
with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill
your plants). Proper care is critical upon arrival.
Live Plants are
NOT GUARANTEED
to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to
be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO
SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,
eternal survival is up to you.
IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT
plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door.
You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.
LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.

RISK!
From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim.
All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents.
I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable.
The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order.
Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees
are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity
advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or
damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's
expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All
other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related
grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type
of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed
controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.
Germination is affected by such factors as temperature,
moisture content, light intensity and contamination of
planting media. These factors are totally out of the
seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally
guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions
or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
