Papaya

In general, papaya trees should be planted in full sun and watered frequently for best growth and fruit production. Any climatic factor such as cool or cold temperatures, lack of water, high constant winds, or shade will reduce papaya growth and production. Papaya plants grow and fruit well in well-drained soil types.
