Sree Kumar starts with ... I bought 5 pawpaw plants from Daleys over the past 3 years. One has grown to 4m ht. the 2nd one grew to about 1.5 m then lost leaves & trunk rotted away & died. Of the other 3 bought last year, one died within a month. the other 2 are about 60cms ht and are showing sings of wilting. Even the 4m tree's leaves are drying. I will try Dolomite, Sul of Potash, mulch & copper oxy chloride on leaves. But I think roots are waterlogged. Should I uproot & replant higher with loose sandy soil? | About the Author sreekumar1 Sydney 27th August 2009 11:54am #UserID: 2717 Posts: 2 View All sreekumar1's Edible Fruit Trees |
HappyEarth says... SOunds like root rot Sree. Paw paws need good drainage and must be planted on mounds if on a flat surface. They dont transplant very well ... best to buy news ones im afrad Rich www.happyearth.com.au | About the Author HappyEarth Wollongong 27th August 2009 3:21pm #UserID: 2553 Posts: 181 View All HappyEarth's Edible Fruit Trees |
