Question
Dear Richard,
I am living in Arizona and I am finding papaya leaves for illness treatment, we know that there is papaya tree in Florida and California, could you help to let us know where we can find papaya leaves in Florida/ California?
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Mary.

Answer
Mary,
    I did a copy and paste on a papaya plant seller's article I found on the Internet for you. Most papaya growers seem to be in southern FL near Homestead, FL. I assume you are looking for a wholesaler. There were retailers for papaya leaves on Amazon.com. Let me know if this helps and I will research California for you.
