Such an incredible achievement, Joe. The first tropical papaya I've seen grown in this country. 👍🏽 Might be an idea to bag those fruits before it's noticed by pests..

@@MoebiusUK , thank you. It just shows it can be done 😀 Good idea to bag the fruits…I didn’t think of that! Although the animals would probably be thinking what kind of foreign fruit it is 🤣

Great to see they are still holding on Joe, its a seriously long wait for these to develop in our climate. Think my babaco took around 9 months

Nice. I have a bunch of papaya seedlings I'm growing from seed. How long did it take from sowing the seed to growing and fruiting?

Wow thats amazing Joe.well done I've tried a few times with papaya trees that ive bought here, and no success always got stem rot. The nearest ive got was a mountain papaya i grew from seed flowered and fruited under 2 years, but it dropped its baby fruit and sadly i lost the plant in 2022. Ive got a seed grown Oak leaf papaya now that produces only male flowers so no chance of fruit unless i can grow another and hope it's either hermaphrodite or a female.

@@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000 thanks Louise ☺️I’ve found that as long as I water when the pot is light when lifted, then I don’t get any root issues. I do that pretty much with all my plants. Sorry to hear you lost your mountain Papaya back in 2022. Fingers crossed your Oak leaf Papaya is hermaphrodite 🙏🏽🌱
