The local Walmart's in my area have started selling papaya and olive trees, which I had never seen before. I thought it was pretty interesting so I bought one of each. The papaya is already around 2-3' tall and the Mission Olive is around that same height.
I have experience growing hardy palms and veggies in my area but these two trees are a first.
Where I'm at we usually experience our first frost of the year around mid-late November. What can I realistically expect growth-wise out of the papaya? I'm planning on winterizing the olive but not the papaya. Is there any chance to get fruit out of before November?
