Even light freezes can completely kill a papaya tree so my guess is that most people below zone 7 or 8 probably don't have a chance at growing a papaya outside.

Papayas also prefer to be grown in humid climates, but I have found that they will grow outside in Tucson, Arizona. with as little as 20% humidity.

Red Maradol papayas come from Mexico and range from 2 to 8 pounds with edible seeds. The trees are easily grown in containers, but require lots of watering and fertilizer to produce the heavy fruits.
