Dwarf Hybrid Pawpaw Seeds (Maradona F1)

East-West Seeds International is the manufacturer of the Maradona F1 Dwarf Pawpaw Seeds.

For very excellent reasons, this hybrid variety of pawpaw has become increasingly popular and widespread among Nigerian farmers. For starters, it is asserted to resist the devastating diseases anthracnose and papaya ringspot that affect pawpaw and many other fruit crops.

Another factor is that medium-sized (1 to 1.5 kilogram) fruits have thick rinds and a long shelf life and excellent shipping quality. Additionally, it boasts high-yielding red-orange flesh with a superb sweet flavor.

Because the Maradona is semi-dwarf, harvesting is simple. Unlike the Maradona F1, the farmers’ traditional kinds they planted were tall, necessitating the usage of a ladder to harvest the fruits.
