The papaya has optimum fruit size, ranging from 0.8 kg to 1.2 kg, which makes it an ideal choice for markets demanding medium-sized papayas
CapGen Seeds introduced Colima F1, a low-growing hybrid papaya that marks a significant milestone in greenhouse cultivation and represents the culmination of years of dedication and hard work by our team of plant genetics experts.
Colima F1 emerges as a natural evolution of our successful Caballero papaya, which has been recognised for its quality and yield in different regions of the world. With Colima, the company have pushed the boundaries of convention to offer a variety that not only retains the outstanding qualities of its predecessor but also introduces significant improvements in terms of fruit size, flavour and shelf life.
Colima fruits have an optimum size, ranging from 0.8 kg to 1.2 kg, which makes them an ideal choice for markets. Moreover, their average soluble solids content of 14 – 15º Brix guarantees a sweet and exquisite taste that delights the most demanding palates. But Colima’s qualities do not stop here. Its remarkable hardness confers an excellent post-harvest capacity, which allows for more efficient handling and transport and widens the marketing window for producers.
