(pp´), soft-stemmed tree (Carica papaya) of tropical America resembling a palm with a crown of palmately lobed leaves.
Papaya plants can also be grown from cuttings, which should be hardened off for a few days and then propped up with the tip touching moist, fertile soil until roots form.
Papaya fruits form from the fertilized female flowers where they dangle until they are ripe and ready to make someone (or something...) a delicious breakfast. Click to download a large version of the papaya picture.
