Ironman verdict
Papaya tree seed is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 9 monsters and 6 other sources for it.
The lowest-level monster that drops it is Mammoth (level 80), at 1/640, about one in 640 kills. The best rate is from Hespori (level 284): 3/80, 1–3 at a time. The 9 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 80 to 741. It also comes from 6 other sources, such as Managing Miscellania and Barbarian Assault/Gambles.
Bosses we cover that drop it: Zulrah, Hespori, Kalphite Queen and Sarachnis. It is a reward from these activities: Managing Miscellania and Barbarian Assault.
It is a material in 1 recipe: Papaya seedling (57 Farming). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 69 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch loses about 111 coins; only alch it to clear space.
