Yes, a papaya. Now the fun begins. Put it in a 6 ” pot. It is now mid Aug to it will be you house plant from now till next year when the outside temps do not get below 65. Then plant it in to the ground or large barrow. Sorry can not tell if it is male or female so the fun will be to wait. Most case it will be a female.
