The papaya tree, scientifically known as Carica papaya, is a tropical fruit-bearing plant native to Central America and Mexico but now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is a fast-growing, single-stemmed tree-like plant that can reach heights of up to 30 feet (9 meters). The papaya tree has a relatively short lifespan, typically living for about 10 to 15 years.
