anybody in austin want/need a papaya tree?

we have been composting and reusing our veg/fruit scraps.  we ended up with a small forest of papaya trees.  I've seen smaller trees for sale at home depot for $40 or so. 

I don't think they will survive a hard freeze so I'll offer some up if you have the space.  not sure if they need to be potted and taken indoors for the winter or maybe you have a somewhat protected are next to your home.

Hi Paul

I don’t live anywhere near Austin but have been dying to get some papaya trees. If I pay for shipping would you be willing to ship them to Florida? Thanks so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Victoria Hill

 

How tall are they?

Alex, the trees are over 3 ft tall; not including root ball.  there is a pic on our blog at austinmodhouse.com/blog

Victoria,

as much as it warms my heart to know that you would go to such lengths to take in one of my tree, I don't think it's practical.   the shipping would cost quite a lot and is not exactly practical.  if you want a papaya tree, you can do as we did.  eat papaya and toss the seeds in dirt out in the yard.
