Thats not too good to hear since the canopy of my papaya already extends beyond the palms I have in the ground all year long and I dont want to mess with those root systems. I have a feeling Im going to end up killing it by digging it up, but papayas are short lived plants to begin with, and I have nothing to lose by trying to save it from the winter cold! The trunk on my tree is starting to get big now too (almost an inch) it was the diameter of a pencil when I bought it!
