Papaya originated in the lowland tropics of South America, but today you find papayas growing everywhere in the tropics and subtropics. It often grows wild, and every tropical food garden has several papaya trees. To grow good papayas you need a frost free climate, lots of sunlight, lots of water and very good soil.
Although it is classified as a shrub, papaya trees still have a significant canopy spread of 5 to 7 feet because the leaves reach up to 3 feet long. As a result of this large foliage, your papaya tree needs between 10 and 20 feet between its trunk and any other plants or structures.
