I have a relatively green formosa papaya, how long do you expect it to ripen?

It's pretty hard now and only has a slight spot that turned yellow. Do I wait til it changes color? Does it even change color?

    If your papaya is still on the tree you can accelerate the ripening process by wrapping the papaya with a newspaper. This too will prevent birds from pecking into it. Otherwise you can still wrap it in newspaper or brown bag, leave it in a warm place with the narrow end sitting up
