People down the street (in NOLa) have a papaya tree in the front yard. Pretty cool looking...

almost time for you to steal the fruit

Had no idea these would grow in zone 9.

Most of the several I've seen in NO are like this one--right up against a house, close enough to get some thermal protection.

Ive seen quite a few productive papayas over the years in SE LA....typically in a protected courtyard or up against a house. They live for a while but eventually a serious winter gets em in the end. Ditto for avocados.....though I understand there are a few more cold tolerant avocado varieties, wish I could get my hands on one of those.

I'm jelly too. When we were kids there used to be fruiting avocado trees near Pizzo Leather Company in the CBD.

I have 2 in my yard but neither have made fruit yet. One is about that size. Any idea how old that tree is?

I'm guessing 2 years. Any type of freeze even mild and it's pretty much dead.

I got mine from Cleggs last year. Took a bit of a hit last winter, but I didn’t do much to protect it.
Had a papaya tree a few years ago, but my dog ate it after a year.
