Red Pawpaw question (forum)
3 responses
Lissa starts with ...
Some months back I bought a red pawpaw from Daleys (I think it was a freebie attached to the main order).
I've attached pics of the flowers and plant - do you think these flowers indicate both male and female? I'm wondering if I have ended up with a male dud.
Pretty sure this is the one that was sent:
Pawpaw - Southern Red
Southern Red Paw PawBisexual large orange - red fleshed Papaya with very sweet juicy flesh. Heavy cropper of elongated fruit. Seedlings have been selected from high quality self pollinated selection, so expect at least 80% bisexual plants.

Sorry, looks like a male to me. Bisexuals have a large flower in the middle and a smaller one either side. They are also on a short stem.

Thanks folks. Others in BLF agree it looks like a male.
At the worst it will be useful to pollinate female (yellow) plants I have.
Not that they have ever had a problem creating fruit for me even though I have no other male plant in my own garden.
Daleys tell me the fruit from this union will initially be yellow but the seed could grow either yellow or red.
