davewastech says... Have you tried growing a few papaya in southern latitudes? What's your opinion? Are "Southern Reds" superior to other varieties? Anybody done a side-by-side test to try to confirm this? My effort so far - I tried a very unscientific growing side-by-side comparison of two bisexual southern reds against two female random papayas (grown from seed out of shop-bought fruit) planted against a north-facing cream-coloured brick wall in Sydney (frost-free area). The difference? Not that much, although the Southern Reds got much less black spot on the fruits. I've also noticed that all papaya crops can vary from year-to-year. A few miserable windy days in winter will set them all back heaps. And in cool years most of the fruit will never ripen properly. | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 2nd June 2015 11:37pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |
