Hi, Mary and everyone.

Mary,

It is a joy to read this thread. I agree with Palmtree that you are making remarkable progress between spring and now, and I am curious to find out how you care for your papaya trees. What fertilizer do you use and how often do you apply it?

I sewed some papaya seeds in the ground last winter and they geminated in May. I didn’t bother thinning out the seedlings as I was growing them for fun. My papaya plants are about two and a half feet tall now, grown in a shady area. I’m not quite sure what to do when the first frost arrives in November.

Is papaya tree easy to flower and fruit? And how many more months do you have to wait before you can harvest yours? I wish you continuous success with your papaya fruits.
