In other news a friend just got back from seeing her family in Singapore, her dad runs a nursery and sent her home with these for us.
He’s convinced we should be able to grow papaya in the uk as long as we fleece them in winter. Reckons they’re much tougher than people think and fruit over there even in bad summers. Worth a shot.
At least if it goes rogue Japanese Knotweed style we can enjoy the fruits :)

Oh cool, thanks for that. I know some posh nurseries sell established plants during spring so def going to look into it. Will prob just have it in a pot on the balcony like our other salad crops.
