I'm trying to grow these in Virginia because deer keep eating up almost everything else. My plan is to keep the papaya potted and move it to our sunroom during the winter.

The best description of how to grow papaya yet, informative and to the point without the dribble some sites go on with, thankyou.

Hi. I hear on most videos people saying papaya are thirsty plants (but don't like waterlogged conditions). 2023 was the hottest and driest summer in Sarasota on record. I didn't water my 21 papaya trees at all. They are in full sun. No water for many months on end and insanely, brutal full sun every day. They are huge, lush and fruiting. No turgor pressure loss at all. No wilting. No drooping. Nothing. Just want to throw that out there as *maybe* the received wisdom that they like consistent moisture is not the complete story. Thanks! (Oh, and people often say the wind will destroy them because they are shallow rooted. Mine went through Hurricane Ian (cat 5) like they didn't even notice. Not trying to be a smarty pants or anything like that - just throwing the info out there to add to the knowledge base on papaya care. Thanks!)

I live North of Tampa and my two Papayas froze while we were away and then we got three new branches come out on one and a two branch on the other one and they gave me more Papayas than prior year!!

Thanks to you, we are redoing our entire yard! (Can't say my husbands too thrilled with you tho 🤭)

I’m growing 24 in my greenhouse in northern Michigan … a challenge for sure, but doing well and fruiting

I grew four papaya trees from a Walmart papaya. It was the easiest plant I've ever grown so far in Florida. I started a whole handful of seeds in one pot and then transferred to different pots until Spring to plant and root in ground.

How to use them up? When yellow and soft, Simply cut in half the long way. Spoon out seeds, and eat with a spoon. Sooo much nuance of flavor by itself. Yummmm.

i found papaya seedlings at my local grocery/nursery and after i brought a couple home and learning how quickly they grow, I am determined to play around with bonsai wire, topping and splitting the trunks to grow them horizontally. I'm really amazed by everything I've learned so far and it feels like the perfect plant to go wild experimenting with 😍

We just moved to Lealman, FL. I am really enjoying your content!

Hi from Tampa Bay! Thanks for this video! I enjoy papaya and would really like to grow some. Thanks for the helpful info!

Believe it or not, the most popular papaya variety grown here in Indonesia is "kates kalipornia" (California papaya). Long fruit, dark orange flesh, very sweet with strong smell / aroma. We also use papaya leaf & unripe fruit to make soup (sayur) & Indonesian salad (gado gado, pecel, urap etc)

[brittnaynaychevynova]

Great tips on using the plant! I have a neighbor that loos to have a ton of papaya in their yard. I may go talk to them now.

G'day!! I live in Australia & you mentioned "what to do with all that papaya? " I don't seem to have a problem with too many. In this area where I live, I have backpackers coming all the time wanting the green fruits & the leaves for their cooking, plus we eat the ripe ones ourselves.
I live in a sub tropical area on a farm, & at the moment it's very dry, we
Have a shortage of water & my papaya suffer as a result, but I keep
trying as everyone loves them. All the best.

I really enjoy all of the education that you put out on your videos. I’m learning so much. Thank you. ☺️

[vickilynn]

Perfect timing! I have a papaya that I need to plant in the ground when I get home this weekend. 👍🏻
