Plant of the Day
Monday 16 December 2024
A fast growing fruit tree with deeply lobed foliage Vasconcellea pubescens (mountain pawpaw, mountain papaya) adds to the exotic look of the subtropical garden at Great Dixter, Sussex. This tropical tree grows well in a warm U.K. summer but will require protection from the winter cold. The plant is grown from seed in early spring with additional heat to improve germination.
