My Papaya tree was dying. I had to take this drastic measure to try to save it!

I have a small plant, it's self pollinating and is supposed to produce small fruit. I'm in Canada and you're supposed to leave it outside in the summer and bring it inside in cold weather. It looked like it was dying and when I went to unentangle it from a cucumber vine, it broke out of the dirt. I was shocked to find it was hollow. Maybe it was getting too much moisture?? I put it back in the dirt and hope it will catch again. A little offshoot was also there so I planted that firmly too. I really hope I can get some papaya from this plant 😢

[@backyardfarmerpat]

i hope you get some too. Yes the plant is hollow. It's pretty sturdy but havent heard of it growing and fruiting successfully that far North. The good thing is the leaves also have tons of benefits so it wont be wasted.

This is awesome 👏🏽 I did cut one of my papaya trees last year and it sends up two now three new sprouts 🌱 I had even forgotten about this. Thank you for the reminder

[@backyardfarmerpat]

That is awesome!

Can you tie a plastic bag on top?

[@backyardfarmerpat]

I'm guessing you can but I would be nervous about making it sweat and rot

[@jackfruitfarmer]

Thx ❤ can you just not get a dwarf papaya from a nursery?❤blessings and love❤

[@backyardfarmerpat]

I'm pretty sure they're available but it's not the size of the tree that's the issue here. Plus I enjoy these papayas and I have an abundance on the property so no need for me to purchase a dwarf.
