Re: Red Lady Papaya-Fruiting

.....I remember when I was concerned on her slow growth,things have changed!

as far as a fert.,I have been spraying with some fish emulsion and humus.I prepared the soil with a very high amount of Nitrogen and it took off.

Re: Red Lady Papaya-Fruiting

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.

Re: Red Lady Papaya-Fruiting

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.

Re: Red Lady Papaya-Fruiting

they don't do well if they are re transplanted.You can try and grow them in a big pot.

Re: Red Lady Papaya-Fruiting

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.
