Hi Antonio,

I plant from seed, but you need to find open pollenated fruit t get  
good results. Look for a large papaya. "Solo" papayas are hybrid and  
will not produce true to parent. Also, Uiversity of Hawaii used to  
sell seed, but their seed stock has allegedly been contaminated by  
GMO pollen.

Good luck!
