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.
Papaya is native or originally from Mexico and Central America, not from North America or USA, do some research first, AMIGO, greetings.
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
That's great to hear FB. 😁👍
Wow, you're very knowledgeable on this fruit. I'm very awestruck.
I know a little but not as much as I'd like. 😉🤔
Cheers & happy growing.

Hi Jaq & thanks. 🙂 Hope they have given you a few ideas you could use yourself.
Cheers & have a top one.
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.
I also have my own papaya harvest in my tropical warm house every year in Germany. The oldest planted papaya is already 16 years old.
Nice one Ananas. 👍👍
which temperature your green house in winter?
@@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.
Thank you
EXCELLENT video! Included all the info I was seeking thank you! :)
Awesome thank-you Rob.

Thank you, we r planning for a pappaya farm in our native, Kerala, india. Looking forward to hearing from you more details.....
I have no experience with a commercial farm sorry mate, just growing them in the backyard
I hope your farm is a great success mate.
Very informative video thanks for sharing
No problem at all.
Cheers & have a top one.
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. 🌱🌱
knowledgeable👍🏻
Very good info
Thanks Patrick.
Cheers.
Very nice video, thank you!
Glad you liked it & hope it helps you a great crop Ennis. 👍👍
Very Helpful information. I'm going to try to grow some from seeds, I'm curious to see how they grow here in Houston, TX
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.
Thank you very much....I try just to plant Papaya in germany.😃😃
Pulpwood like to know how you get on over there in a cooler climate. 👍
Happy growing.
Thanks for sharing wonderful video. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it Aggy.
Happy growing. 👍👍
Great❤
We call it paw paw too ..hi from south Africa
Thanks for that Desiree. I think it may be a hangover from the British. 👍
Cheers & happy growing. 🌱🌱
In Kenya we call it paw paw or pai pai
Excellent work bro
Cheers mate. 👍🙂
Hi from India! Great video!
Thanks Rushda.
Cheers & have a top one. 🙂
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.
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.
Lol
On the up side, the flowers will be helping to attract some beneficial insects into the yard for you as well John.
Cheers mate.
@@RobsAquaponics Yes sir it will, thank you for the awesome video.!
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
Can papaya trees be grown in northern FL?
Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Great video.. I am from Trinidad and Tobago the Caribbean 🇹🇹
Thanks Dr Lyons. 👍 You folks grow a load of papaya over there don't you?
Cheers mate.
@@RobsAquaponics. Yes we do.... I planted about twelve in my backyard recently.. They are still small like a foot in length
thanks - v useful!!!
No Problem David.
Happy growing.
I really enjoyed your video. It was really easy to understand and I LOVE the Aussie Accent!
Thanks Barbara😃
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 !
Great Video, I always thought in Australia Papaya had red flesh and Pawpaw had yellow flesh...
We call papaya Paw paw so they're the same David. 👍
Cheers mate & happy growing.
nice tips thanks
Thanks. 👍
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.
I'm growing one here in Tampa, Florida. In the Caribbean we call them PawPaw as well.
Thanks for the heads up Selwyn. 👍
Happy growing mate.
Thanks bro...i am from indonesia 2023 now
Any watering tips specifically if the weather is over 40° celsius?
Thanks for your awesome video and advice! What pot size do you recommend initially and what size for the final pot? :)
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.
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
Thank you santa advance merry christmas :D
👍😄
Love your channel mate. Big shout out and thumbs up from Davie, Florida!
Thanks mate. 👍👍
Cheers & have a top one.
Great hints and tips on how to grow papayas in containers Or in the ground !! Thanks for sharing
Cheers 50 Shades.
Have a top one.
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!
How large are the containers that you are using?
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 thanks
No problem & happy growing FA. 👍🌱🌱
Share and spread the knowledge no excuse not to .
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.
Hi Rob, thanks for the video, very informative. Any tip on where I can purchase potash from? Quite expensive at nurseries and Bunnings. Thank you.
I have bought liquid potash from them before & think it was a bit cheaper. You can add wood ash as it's high in potassium. I prefer to add it to the compost heap though as I have seen folks over do it around plants & damage them. Google might give you a few ideas as well. 👍😁
I enjoyed your video and have learned much from watching. I would like to eat the papaya leaves and blend the leaves in my juicing for blood benefits. If the leaves have any black spots, can I still ingest them, or what is a safe way to treat the leaves so i can eat them or make a tea?
Thank you for your support.
I'm not 100% sure about any issues with the spotty leaves sorry. I would think that the healthiest looking ones would be best.
