Seeds of Papayuela Carica pubescens Cundinamarca 50 pcs frost-resistant Andean tree with ribbed fruits for bulk sowing and cultivation
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
Large packaging of 50 pcs of seeds in the prized Colombian variety Cundinamarca is an advantageous choice for growers planning more extensive cultivation projects with this frost-resistant alternative to classic papaya. The species, commonly referred to as papayuela or chamburo, grows naturally in higher altitudes of the Andean mountains, where it has developed an unusual tolerance to cooler temperatures and higher humidity. The plant's habit is characterised by a slender upright trunk topped with a crown of large palmate lobed leaves, around which smaller ribbed bright yellow fruits gradually ripen on mature plants. Large-volume packaging will be welcomed by collectors of tropical fruit plants, hobby fruit nurseries, and growers who wish to have sufficient seeds for systematic cultivation experiments across several seasons.

Contents of the package:
- 50 pcs of seeds Carica pubescens 'Cundinamarca'
A larger quantity of seeds allows for spreading sowing over several series throughout the year and testing various stratification, soaking, and temperature regimes, thereby determining the most suitable method for specific growing conditions. Before sowing, we recommend soaking the seeds overnight in lukewarm water and then sowing them into a permeable substrate at a temperature around 22 °C. Since the species naturally grows in cooler mountainous areas, young seedlings appreciate milder temperatures and higher humidity. In long-term cultivation in a European climate, the plant thrives best in a cool well-lit conservatory, where temperatures can drop to freezing in winter. The fruits of the mountain papaya excel in the kitchen, particularly after thermal processing in the form of compotes, jams, sweet and sour sauces, or pickled specialities. This packaging of 50 seeds of Carica pubescens 'Cundinamarca' is therefore an excellent choice for growers planning long-term systematic work with this unconventional Andean fruit tree.
