Ju starts with ... I wondered if anyone knows where one can get seeds, seedlings or plants of the "Papayuelo" (Carica goudotiana) A papaya relative native to the Andes mountains. The 6-8" yellow-orange fruits have a nice flavor resembling an apple. I used to get them In Colombia and they are yummy peeled cut into slices, then simmered in water and sugar served cold (stewed fruit) I'd like to try growing a couple here in Kingaroy Qld.

Kath says... This is my first crop of papayuelo. I have two female trees, one produces smooth yellow tear drop shaped fruits and the other has larger, more angular fruits with an orange blush. They taste a little like white sapote, with a hint of pawpaw, banana tropicana. I suspect pawpaw lovers may be disappointed due to the small size of the fruit.

phil@tyalgum says... Healthy young crop of papayuelo seedlings. No sign of germination until I added some bottom heat, then a massive emergence within a few days. Inedible when first picked, they soften to the most intense Granny Smith apple flavour over the next few days, just wish there was more flesh on them.

Kazino says... Someone was really kind and sent me some papayuelo seeds last year. I followed instructions but none of them sprouted. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on sprouting the seeds - I usually don't have any problems with normal pawpaw seeds but these maybe different. Just wondering if anyone has any seeds available - I'd like to give it another try this season if I can!
