Farouk starts with ... Hello All, I have 2 Papaya trees growing next to each other 1 Red & 1 Yellow, planted mid last summer they both have fruit on them but sadly the red has some sort of disease or sickness, toward the top middle trunk of the tree it has a black spot which is really dead/dry & has a crack & when you knock on it has a hollow sound also ontop of this area there is a new black sort of rot which is wet, both trees have put on new growth this spring but the red definitely is not growing that rapidly compared to the yellow even though it is in a better spot, organic composting wise/water etc. Shall I top it or wait it out ? Thank you, I will have some photos up soon. | About the Author Farouk CABRAMATTA,2166,NSW 28th November 2017 1:18pm #UserID: 8110 Posts: 206 View All Farouk's Edible Fruit Trees |

Farouk says... Hello my friend, so true I tasted one of mine, definitely better than the store brought ones but nothing like ones grown in Indonesia which I had fresh there. Please see my papaya photos attached of the sick one & one of my healthy one. Thank you

Waterfall says... It looks like it got too much water during winter and begun to rot. There is a good chance it will not survive this. But remember they are a short lived fast growing plant anyway so starting again with a new plant will not tke long. They will always get the black spots during winter, this is a fungas attack and you can remove the most affected leaves in spring when the new growth starts again and spray the rest with a fungacide, there are some organic options too. | About the Author Waterfall WATERFALL,2233,NSW 1st December 2017 9:42am #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |
