Default Re: Should I separate these papayas plants?

Good info, thanks.

[What growers generally do is plant 3-4 seeds in a small pot in the nursery, and let 3 of them grow to about 1ft and then plant them as a group. When they first flower, the healthiest hermaphrodite plant is kept and all the others are cut back. With this method, there is about a 94% chance that at least 1 of the 3 will be a self-fertile hermaphrodite plant.]
