My most successful papaya seem to be the volunteers that just sprung up from a random seed. In other words, no soil really at all, just started from a seed in a crevice between the rocks. Just put some mulch over it, keep it watered and add some fertilizer occasionally and that should be good enough. Papayas are pretty effortless.
As for bananas, I've done big holes and small holes and they all become huge eventually because they work their way through the rock. Again, they need to be mulched so the roots can spread and not dry out. Bananas are considered heavy feeders so keep that in mind. I try to put on some banana fertilizer every couple months or so or when the leaves don't seem dark green.
