Experienced growers, please help. This is a 3 months old papaya, with first flower buds appearing at height of 1 foot approximately. I am afraid this is a male plant on the photo. What is a bit odd is that out of four plants i have two are looking like this one, and all four are out of two seed packs: F-1 Tainung from Golden Valley Seed, and Costa Rican Heirloom which both should produce no male types.

Am I right regarding sex of the plant? I have to remove it immediately so that others can grow more freely.

Thanks!
