Hats to you for trying to grow a papaya. I gave up two winters ago. They simply can't stand to remain stationary during winter. Usually it does begin with some leaf loss and its a downhill from there. It's a pity because during summer they do grow well, and if they were somehow earlier in bearing they could be grown as veggies. But so far i haven't heard of anything so precocious to be fruited in a single season, and as i said, they are almost impossible to overwinter.
