"Fruit of Angels”
In Hawaii, all 'Solo' Papayas growing in Hawaii have a gene had been modified to enhance
resistance against Papaya’s biggest enemy, the Ringspot Virus).
Papaya plants produce flowers that are either male, female or
hermaphrodite. Male plants do not produce fruit. Female plants must
be pollinated by either male or hermaphrodite flowers to produce
fruit. Hermaphrodites are self fruiting and the most desirable kind.
The Hawaiian Solo papaya produce seedlings that are either female or
hermaphrodite but no males. 30% will be female and 60% will be
hermaphrodite so you are always assured that you have a plant that
can produce fruit.
This is a very easy plant to grow whether in the ground in frost
free areas or pot grown in cold winter climates. The taste of tree
ripened papaya is so much better than what you find in the grocery
store.

Tropical papaya is a fruit that used to be
relatively unknown outside of the tropics, but today you can find it just
about any supermarket. Papaya fruit is loaded with nutrients so there is much
to be gained if this fruit strikes your fancy. One serving has high fiber
and potassium, iron, calcium, plus the daily requirement of vitamin A and
three days worth of vitamin C. Papaya contains antioxidants which can
protect from certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer, and is known to
help with digestive problems.
Strawberry Red Papaya is eaten just like a melon. Shaped somewhat like a pear,
Strawberry Red Papaya is very sweet but does not have a
high sugar content. Green papayas contain the most papain, which is an
enzyme that is used to tenderize meat and help with inflammation in the
human body.
Strawberry Red Papaya is red inside with bright yellow to green mottled skin. When
ripe, the outside skin will be more of a golden color and the flesh inside
will be deep strawberry red. Other types of papayas turn pink or orange
inside when they are ripe. Christopher Columbus called
papayas the “fruit of angels”.
The most common type of papaya found in U.S. supermarkets is a variety known
as “Solo.” Its dark red flesh is very sweet. The 'Solo' papaya was named because
just one is considered to be just the right size for one person.
The fruit is 8 to 12 inches long and weighs 1-2 pounds.
Some people say papaya tastes like an apricot sprinkled with ginger. The
fruit is used in all types of recipes--meat marinades, salads, and is often
added to other fruits in both smoothies and dried fruit and nut mixtures.
Red papaya adds nutrients to whatever dish you make with it. High fiber
helps to regulate and clean out your colon. All together it contains a whole
group of vitamins, including A, C, E, B-9 and K.
In addition to vitamins, Papaya contains antioxidants, known as phytochemicals, which can protect the body from heart disease and certain
forms of cancer. These antioxidants protect the body from toxins known as
free radicals, which can attack cells. Papaya also contains a couple of
enzymes which are good at digesting protein. These are chymopapain and
papain. One of the benefits of these substances is that they can help reduce
inflammation for people who have arthritis, osteoarthritis, or asthma.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

After you Receive your Items. |
LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.-
USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Rare Palm Seeds
Fresh
Highest Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
