Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

Fresh, Juicy and Easy to Grow Mexican Papaya

  • Mild, Sweet Fruit
  • Fast-Growing
  • Easy Care

Papaya is one of the most refreshing fruits you'll find. But did you know that Papayas are also one of the easiest fruits to grow? As a native to Mexico and Central America, the Mexican Papaya (Carica Papaya 'Mexican') thrives in the warmest regions of the United States. If you're lucky enough to live in one of these balmy planting zones, do yourself a favor and order one of these today!

Mexican Papaya trees grow quickly with tall and attractive stalks. Because these are so delicious, you'll be happy to hunt through Papaya's canopy of fabulous large leaves to look for these delicious fruits. The hardest part is waiting for them to become ripe!

This tree produces a cluster of fruit right beneath the leaves. These large fruits start small but soon swell to an impressive size. Some Papayas grow up to two pounds! As they turn from green to yellow-green, it's time to harvest these juicy fruits. Let them ripen for a few days on your counter and you'll soon have a succulent treat!

If you love fruit that's isn't mouth-puckering sweet, you'll love Papaya. Beneath their yellow skin, you'll find flesh the color of cantaloupe. Papayas are lightly sweet and rich in Vitamin C.

What does a Mexican Papaya tree look like? You know one when you see one. They're best known for their distinct markings left by previous leaves and their segmented leaves that sprout only at the top of the tree. The Mexican Papaya blooms as spring transition to summer with small blossoms beneath their large, highly dissected leaves.

Plant your subtropical beauty where it can bask in the sun. These will survive temperatures down to 35degrees. Provide it with protection from the wind. Their trunks are mostly hollow, so they're vulnerable to breakage. They thrive in moist soil that is well-drained. Provide supplemental water as needed.

Add Papaya to your tropical fruit garden. This attractive plant makes a bold statement wherever you plant it in your garden bed, too.

If you find yourself thirsting for a pleasant fruit that is easy to grow and can satisfy your hunger for succulent fruit, order your Mexican Papaya now!
