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.
Papaya melon fruit health benefits:
The papaya fruit is very low in calories (just 39 calories/100 g) and contains no cholesterol; however, is a rich source of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.
Papayas contain soft, easily digestible flesh with a good amount of soluble dietary fiber that helps to have normal bowel movements; thereby reducing constipation.
It is also an excellent source of Vitamin-A flavonoids. Vitamin A is required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and is essential for visual sight. These compounds are known to have antioxidant properties to protect against cancer and ulcers.
