Teresa's Joy

Description

Many seedlings out of this cross have light peduncles and pedicels, pale green leaves and near white, cream or translucent papaya flowers. The flowers are a translucent Papaya colour, with light creamy peduncles and pinkish pedicels. The mid green leaves range from 32 to 46mm wide and approx. 500mm long. Peduncle length is 280mm and pedicels are 20mm long. It is a sibling to 'White Lightning' and 'Genevieve's Cream'.
