THIS pawpaw was bought by a Vryheid resident from the vendors on the road to Eshowe. She says, “When we put it in the fridge, we heard something like a loose pip.
“After cutting it open I saw there were no small black pips, but only these hard baby fruits. I sent photos to all my friends and nobody had seen something like this.” Can anyone enlighten us on this pawpaw?
[On the Internet we found this: Apparently a man called Doug Gaham wrote about papayas in an issue of Vibrance magazine, and he said that a papaya tree can either be 100% female, 100% male, or anywhere in between. The trees that are purely female produce seedless fruit, and the fruit will have more seeds to the higher degree that the tree is male. A purely male tree, however, will not produce fruit.
He also says that the seedless or all-female fruits will be noticeably sweeter.” There’s no mention of a pawpaw/papaya with no conventional black seeds but with what appear to be miniature fruits instead. Editor.]
