[2778 days 16hrs ago]Hi Gerry, Just wondering if you are still growing the Broad Leaf Papaya and if you might have a few seeds to spare. Thanks, LintonGerry3 says... [2777 days 20hrs ago] Hi Linton, Unfortunately I have no seed at present but the tree is still growing. It is currently in its winter -no female flower stage. Next fruit will probably be six to eight months away but feel free to ask again about then if you are still interested.Linton says... [2776 days 17hrs ago] Thanks for the info. Will contact you in 6 - 8 months time to see how it's going then. Cheers! Linton* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
Papaya - Broad Leaf (Seedling)![]() Update: 3240 days 15hrs Comments: - Large fruit. See comparison size to iPhone in photo. Planted: 2015 Height 2 metres Qty: 1 First Fruited: 4 Months from Purchase in Pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: SuperGrow. Like Dynamic Lifter Pest Control: Badly affected by broadmite when small. Treated with a miticide to clear it up and followed by wetable sulphur every so often. Occassional Confidor for fruit spotting bug which likes to wipe out pawpaws around here. Question: This plant set two fruit but has only produced male flowers since. Any Ideas.

I input water weekly.Gerry3 says... [3096 days 15hrs ago] The fruit were very juicy and sweet. It's now late winter and female flowers are finally being produced again much like other male pawpaws however the flowers are close to the stem unlike fruiting flowers on male trees which are usually on long stalks.emily1 says...
