Papaya, Molokai Sunrise

Molokai Sunrise is a papaya cultivar selected for Ho'olehua Molokai conditions.
Growing guidelines: soak seeds in water overnight. Start individual seeds by sowing ½” deep in 2 inch cells. Germination takes place in about 1-2 weeks. Transplant to the ground or grow out in a larger pot for larger plants. Plant 7 feet apart in clusters of 3 transplants. When plants show their sex, cull out to one plant saving the healthiest hermaphrodite. (Stocky, flowers low on the plant.)
