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!
