A detailed image of a papaya tree seed.

Papaya tree seeds may be grown into a papaya tree which gives 6 papayas at a full harvest, these will regrow over time. Players must have level 57 Farming to plant it; planting it gives 72 Farming experience points. It takes 960 minutes (roughly 16 hours, may take longer if needed) to finish growing, and yields 6146.6 experience when checked, for a total of 6218.6 experience per seed. The seeds are sometimes dropped by Pawyas. Seeds may also be obtained from bird nests, as rare drops from a Giant ant worker or Giant ant soldier, from the Vinesweeper minigame for 20,000 points and players may also receive them as a fairly common prize from Treasure Hunter.

A nearby gardener will watch over your growing papaya tree at the cost of 10 pineapples, which can be in either item, or noted form. Arhein in Catherby will sell 40 pineapples a day for 80gp.
