You said buying a papaya tree from a nursery would guarantee the plant will be a hermaphrodite. But you did not explain how the nursery do this when common people can't. Please elaborate.
Last year my papaya was broke in half from a thunderstorm. (I’m live near Daytona Beach, FL) It went from 8ish feet to about 4feet. This year it shot off four shoots and is doing wonderful! She’s already fruiting on 3 of the four new branches. Thank you for the growing tips! Thx for sharing
@@HuongPham-vv8qz Warm house usually means at least 18 degrees Celsius, when it's very cold outside I sometimes only have 15 degrees because the heating can't handle it anymore.
@@AnanasDoktor how do you heat the green house?. I just got a green house this summer and I have some tropical plants( papayas, carambola, guava). I am still trying to lean how to use to keep the green house warm during winter. Appreciate your advice.
@@HuongPham-vv8qz I had a central heating connection laid across from the house, I laid 36 mm thick copper pipes on 3 sides in the high base area that serve as radiators. I heat with fuel oil and optionally logs and can still use thermal sun heat in transitional periods.
years ago Ma went to the grocer, and requested papaya seeds from the produce manager. He gave her a free handful. She had at least 1 that germinated decent, and it ended up approx. 3 ft. tall. She had 1 fruit develop, and just before winter. In order for its own weight, not to cause 'drop off'. I took an old school 12" ruler, and black electrical tape, and secured it to da trunk ! Right on time in the spring, it began to change into a orange yellow color. It fully ripened. Very good flavor; no spray's no fertilizer. She used to germinate in her kitchen oven. The temp. was around 95°due to the pilot, when not using the oven . Small 'peat pots', and a 'green thumb'. The interests, and enthusiasm of the older ones is inspiring, motivating especially in things of "life". Likes plants, pets, etc. Thank you for the vids. Now, I'm not sayin your old or something like that.....
Hi Ross. I like the oven germinating trick. Do you grow vegetables outside through summer there? I follow a chap called Patrick from the One Yard Revolution channel & he lives in your neck of the woods. Cheers & all the best. Rob.
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics so close to Lake Michigan, and humidity is plentiful. A number of years previous, the weather changed to a pattern with many warm/hot days; with 20° deg. drop at night. Not the best for tomato fruits, or squash. Yes this summer had much less of rain, but steadier day temps. Onions, potatoes, sweet corn - squash bugs problem. One time, local store carried cherry tomatoes from Haifa, Israel. From those seeds, we had vines going up the power line for our home. Very sweet cherry tom's, with tender skins. One problem here, are the thick skins on the hybrid tomatoes; whether already grown at market, or from seed. Over all the quality, and taste is very good. The industry boys, pick the fruits green, and gas them like bananas, hard green, and like potatoes. Good growing !
Guess what, I have a beautiful 6ft tall Papaya tree here in South Florida, and after almost a year it looks amazing, it started flowering and it's a male, I was sad about it but I decided to leave it since there are a lot of papaya trees around, maybe someone needs my pollination lol.
Male papaya leaves cure some cancer or sickness I believe. A lot of people are looking for those everyday, as far as I know a lot of my people Vietnamese use them to cure certain sickness/cancer, but because not many people grow male papaya it becomes a bit rare
Thank you enjoyed your tips. I live in Costa Blanca and have three self seeded Papaya's. I have been very fortunate mine are all self fertilizing. It's a great hobby.
Hello to the folks down unda. Thanks for this informative video. I saved the seeds from a papaya and dried them. Well I'm happy to say 4 of them germinated and are 4 inches now. I live in Florida by the way and plan to grow them in my back yard. I also am growing mangos , 4 of them too. Thanks again for the video, I subbed. Cheers.
HI ROB.LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO ON PAW PAW (PAPAYA).VERY WELL DONE,GREAT WORK MATE.KEEP IT UP.OH !!JUST SO YOU KNOW I WILL BE FOLLOWING YOUR VIDEOS ON FARMING AND OR GARDENING, ALL THE WAY FROM CRETE GREECE.AND BY THE WAY I LIVED IN MELBOURNE VICTORIA FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS ,GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL AUSTRALIANS,BYE MATE.
Thanks Rob. Your video and all the indepth information was incredible. Thank you for helping us learn the ins and outs of growing papaya. We live in Southern California with potential for growing these beautiful plans. Thank you again for all this great information.
Great video. I live in the tropics as well and I just started growing paw paw from seeds. It has been a slow process as we are in the middle of the rainy season. Thank you for the explanation and great tips
I just searched & it looks like you have very similar weather to us here David, just slightly less tropical. At a guess, I'd say it should do well. Happy growing mate.
My grandfather had no trouble growing paw paw trees at Palmwoods in NSW (6 kms north of Mullumbimby) when he was alive as he died in August, 1 month short of his 98th birthday. He used to start the seedlings in tin cans then when they got big enough, he'd plant it tin & all into the ground,he must've fertilized them with the same stuff he used to use on his banana plantation. He was eating them for breakfast up until about 15 years ago but had an allergic reaction to something which his doctor blamed on him eating paw paw. We've had no luck on growing them in our local area (Seaham) which is 40 kms north of Newcastle as the frost killed the paw paw trees we had growing. That was quite a few years ago but I've noticed our area in the very fringe of a subtropical zone,maybe our areas climate has changed. Someone has had luck growing them at Wallsend along a fence but I'm going to try & grow them by covering them in a Hessian wrap during the Winter time to keep the Frost off it. I'm going to try & grow some mango trees as well as I have 4 of them that are growing from seed,as well as a couple of avocado plants which have been sprouted from seed. My parents have a macadamia tree growing in their backyard which is a seed plant from my grandfathers old macadamia tree. I have 4 seedlings from the seeds of that tree which I hope to plant next year,while they are not native to my area,they still do well as a cafe at Medowie has their own macadamia tree plantation.
Great video Rob! I bought a papaya from the local Walmart and I saved the seeds and I planted them and lo and behold they came up! I'll shoot you a picture later on, I have them in containers in pretty much sandy soil but with a lot of compost, I have been feeding them with Miracle Grow, and they seem to be doing good. Remember now I live in Northeast Florida and we get some mighty cold weather here, so I am going to build a greenhouse shortly and hopefully they will survive the winter which is coming Upon Us soon. I'm not sure what variety they are but they are the big long kind if that makes any sense. Anyway brother cool video thank you so much!
Great to hear you're having a crack at growing a few plants. Do you get frosts there ? Once they put on a bit of size they would be able to survive a mild one in a sheltered spot as long as the leaves don't freeze. Cheers & happy growing mate. 👍👍
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics ,we do have hard freezes here, so they would have to be protected very well, when I lived in the Florida Keys they grew like crazy! It never froze there, never had frost, it is tropical and pretty much anything would grow year-round!
p.s. since we are approx.30 miles due west of downtown Chicago, and out papaya growin is not feasible, this was done all indoors. most planting growing, harvesting has its possibilities friends. another good favorite is beans, sprouted in glass jars on laying on their sides. and what a variety in flavor; protein. just sayin......God bless
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics just moved from CA to ID. Gonna try to grow them in pots in a greenhouse with your suggestions. We will see if they'll survive the winter here.
Hi Bob thanks for all the great videos. I've been growing Mexican papaya in my yard (San Diego, CA)for over ten years and propagate them from seed. I currently have over 12 with fruit. I'm sure over these years that of the 100 plus plants I've raised every one of them has given me good edible fruit. A few have given fruit on long stems but the overwhelming majority of fruit have been off the trunk.
Nice one Richard. I don't think I've seen that variety so will go look it up in a tick. 👍 Hope this seasons off to a great start for you mate. Cheers & happy growing. 🌱🌱
Great show!! I just subscribed to your channel,I live in Florida and tropical fruit trees can easily be grown here,please keep making these shows, you have a very down to earth approach to this topic that I really like!!
Thanks Carl. We're currently out of our house while it's being renovated so haven't been posting as many clips lately. Will get back into full swing once we move home & get settled back in. Cheers & happy growing.
I always put some gravel on the bottom of the pot to drain water, but it also keeps water stored at the bottom for the plant when I forget to water it. For papaya I think I will use pot with enough holes, because my other plants need to be watered more often.
Thank you so much for all the education on the papaya tree. I think now I know how to help my Papaya tree thrive and survive most of the elements which are affecting it now. I was wondering what the black spots were , and now I know. I was also looking to see how you can help the tree grow healthy and sweet papayas. Is there any vitamin or special food that I can feed my tree that can help the fruit be sweeter? Thank you again. Happy Planting :)
Hi Marlen. There's no particular element you could add that I can think of which would increase sweetness. I have found that the fruit developed after top dressing with compost tend to be sweeter. Not sure if that's just me thinking they are knowing that they've been fed though. 🤔 Sorry I'm not much help there. Happy growing.
Here in Brazil we plant the papaya and when it grows 1 meter we plants another, when the second plant grows 1 meter we plant the third and doing this many times (staggering). So we have papaya all the year and in various stages of growth. More information you can see here th-cam.com/video/LgqIu7ZH2C4/w-d-xo.html at 12:05
Looks like a great system Roni. 👍 I have friends that do it in a less regimented way & let them sprout from different compost piles to replace older or tall trees. Cheers & have a top one.
I personally like to start plants out in as large pots as I can, preferably the size they will end up growing in. For a papaya in soil I would so with nothing smaller than a 500mm/20" pot. I have grown a rather nice dwarf papaya in a ½ 200L/50gal drum. You just need to make sure that your feed it regularly with compost & water.
my papaya tree produce both male and female flowers, and once in a while, it produces mixed flowers. I noticed those mixed flowers before, but never knew what those were then seem like those later on cracked open showing a fruit inside.
Nice video and thanks for info. My method is much easier, eat papaya and throw the seeds everywhere, few months later we eat new papaya 😀 But in Laos almost everything easy to grow 🙂
I really don't have the room to grow any more trees here at the moment sorry. Check out "Self Sufficient Me" channel as I think Mark may have a few. Say "G'Day" for me too if you do visit it. 😉👍 Cheers & happy growing 🌱🌱
🔥I just ate a NOT QUITE RIPE one and my lips are on fire!!! 🙇🏼♀️ I just learned about the pep in and latex in them and I don’t know how people are eating green papaya salad (and I have ordered them at restaurants) but this time it hurt really bad. I think it is most likely from the white milky latex on the skin that dripped onto the flesh of the fruit I was eating but whatever it was it still hurts!!😵

Papaya is native or originally from Mexico and Central America, not from North America or USA, do some research first, AMIGO, greetings.

I really don't have the room to grow any more trees here at the moment sorry. Check out "Self Sufficient Me" channel as I think Mark may have a few.
Say "G'Day" for me too if you do visit it. 😉👍
Cheers & happy growing 🌱🌱
🔥I just ate a NOT QUITE RIPE one and my lips are on fire!!!
🙇🏼♀️ I just learned about the pep in and latex in them and I don’t know how people are eating green papaya salad (and I have ordered them at restaurants) but this time it hurt really bad. I think it is most likely from the white milky latex on the skin that dripped onto the flesh of the fruit I was eating but whatever it was it still hurts!!😵
Sorry to hear that.
I always make sure I peel them well before we use them green.
thanks - v useful!!!
No Problem David.
Happy growing.
I'm growing one here in Tampa, Florida. In the Caribbean we call them PawPaw as well.
