![]() Seems to me you would be better off potting it now so it has time to recover while you still have good weather. Grow it as a house plant if you have the room.

![]() Its amazing how fast it growes! Unfortunally I ll have to leave it inground and will try to protect it somehow. In a mean time is there any good source for Dwarf Papaya seed? Have to prepare few seedlings for the next Spring if I loose this one.

![]() I had one in a large pot. As with most plants overwintered inside, it was very prone to spider mites. It did well for 2 years but never fruited for me. Good luck, Ante.
