Waimanalo & Red Lady Papayas: Premium Island Varieties

While local papaya varieties on Saipan are inedible for humans (though our chickens love them!), our Waimanalo and Red Lady papayas represent the pinnacle of papaya breeding and flavor.

The Local Papaya Problem

Native papayas on the island are:

• Extremely bitter or bland
• Poor texture and consistency
• Better suited for animal feed

Our Premium Varieties

• Exceptional sweetness with perfect sugar balance
• Vibrant orange flesh that's visually stunning

Red Lady Papaya (Thai Excellence)

• Deep orange-red flesh with incredible visual appeal

Why These Varieties Succeed

Our success comes from:

• Careful variety selection suited to Saipan's climate
• Proper soil preparation and ongoing management
