Super interesting… I’m up in Jacksonville north Florida. I don’t have those wasps … my only issue up here is wrapping papaya plants in wool blankets and bubble Wrap… top freezes off every year and they crown from the trunk the next year . I guess I’ll consider myself lucky , the below freezing nights , must keep these wasp unable to live here👍
Thanks for sharing ✨ from your experience, at what temperature is the papaya vulnerable? Would temperatures in the mid and high 30s be okay to leave uncovered. I am also in Florida and have a few young papaya trees that I am nursing :)
They’re not easy to grow; I killed two trees before I learned they like well drained soil and susceptible to root rot. Great video; thanks for the information.
Appreciate the info. I heard the papaya was extremely easy to grow from multiple sources, with zero advice as to difficulties. I am in north central Florida and have b÷n dealing with black spot since August. I used copper Fungicide and cut dying leaves, but would have cut them earlier had I known. Healthy leaves at top became smaller and smaller Cluster, so just cut plant in half eliminating all upper growth, hoping for a reset. Knowledgeable advice appreciated.
Hi, I just sawed off a big part of my papaya tree because of the freeze part of it gotten rotten. I noticed in the tree it has a hole in the middle with liquid in it do I cover up the hole? Or just leave it open? Thanks any info would be great.
Hey, can you do two experiments for me? First off plant time around one of your papaya plants and see if that helps the black spot. Preferably English time because it is supposed to have higher oil content. The second is on another one try spraying time tea on it. I don't know how frequently to do it, but I wonder if it could help with the fungal issues.
It’s almost the end of May. I’m in south west FL… can I chop mine in half now or is it too hot? I only had one fruit that didn’t ripen enough and the rest of the buds fell off. It’s only a year old but about 8 ft tall and I need to spray because it did develop the brown spots and very few leaves left on canopy. Anyone in my area plz let me know if I can cut it now. TIA
Which one? They are both pretty sunny, atleast 7+ hrs of direct sun. Most surely not FULL sun, full sun is harsh sometimes. Def not in full blown sun. Wish I had a spot that was that sunny but protected from harsh north wind
I planted a red lady papaya tree and my papayas have grown to be larger than footballs but they're still green and don't show signs of ripening on the tree.
Thank you for the informative video.

Papaya are herbs
Shady like where you planted the Hawaiian one.

Why not experiment for yourself?
Where do you get the bags?
Is covering the trunk necessary? I just cut mine and it’s full of water.
What about winter cold? What happens to unripe fruit on the tree during winter any suggestions?
Can the leaves burn in direct sunlight

Where in Central Florida are you located and where can I get the Hawaiian Solo Sunset Variety?
What about NPK?
Just a balanced fertilizer. If anything something slightly higher in nitrogen. They are not picky.
Give away the tree you removed. Someone would love to have it.
Have you ever had big green worms eat your papaya leaves
Too shady there for papaya

It takes a while, months. Patient! They will start ripening in rapid succession
