Why choose Calina papaya seeds?
First, Calina’s compact plant habit can suit growers who prefer a smaller papaya variety. In addition, IPB University describes the fruit as sweet, with thick, soft flesh and an average weight of about 1.3 kg. However, actual fruit size and quality depend on growing conditions and crop care.
Calina also offers a useful option for fresh-fruit production. The fruit’s smaller size may suit households and local buyers. Therefore, consider your target market and available growing space before planting.
