Опис
Papaya is one of the fastest-bearing fruit plants — grafted or transplanted seedlings can fruit within 6–12 months of planting. It is highly sensitive to frost, waterlogged soil, and root disturbance; plant in well-raised, excellently drained beds and never let roots sit in water even briefly. Most commercial papaya is hermaphroditic (self-fertile), allowing a single tree to produce fruit; dioecious types require a male plant within 20 feet. Cut the growing tip back at 3–4 ft to encourage a compact, easily harvested form. Harvest when at least one-quarter of the skin has turned yellow; ripen fully at room temperature and refrigerate only after fully ripe.

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost and transplant after all cold risk has passed; even a light frost kills papaya plants.
