Cold-Hardy Papayas
No Customer Reviews
"Cold-hardy Papayas" is a testament to horticultural innovation, set in Northern California where brief, occasional freezes contrast with generally mild weather. Celebrating the cultivation of several robust papaya species adapted to Santa Cruz's temperate climate, the book features successes like the creation of a new hybrid fruit, the result of ongoing, inventive experiments. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Santa Cruz Fruit Growers, we planted a thriving fruit jungle in Watsonville, California - fostering these unique papayas. The book delves into the joys and challenges of growing these species, highlighting advanced hybridization techniques, cultivation methods, pest control, and delicious recipes. Infused with community passion and a spirit of defiance against traditional cultivation limits, "Cold-hardy Papayas" is both a practical manual for gardeners and a narrative of ecological adaptation and horticultural ambition. It invites readers to embrace the cultivation of papayas in milder climates, turning a challenging endeavor into a fulfilling journey.
