Julie is a mango variety...all of the papayas I get around here are self (or bird) seeded are pretty prolific, but I am sure they are all mega crosses of just about any papaya grown here
With papaya, I normally pinch the top to encourage multi-stemming...it can effect the fruit size & will subdue the flowering right after punching back, but it keeps them shorter for a longer time...& each branch normally bears, so I usually have more than enough papaya...
