  • we call them papaya in the states. a paw paw here is a native tree in the annonaceae family

    it has a fruit that has a flavor like a mango/custard/banana. i have a hard time growing papaya here in south florida because we have a wasp that lays its eggs in the fruit and eats the insides out

  • Hey thanks, I new there was a slight difference around the world! Have you ever tried to use a net over the tree to keep out the wasps? We use nets over here more for the fruit bats and birds, but they could work for wasps. We also get fruit fly - they look more like a big mosquito, but for them we use liquid bates in jars and sort of drown them.

  • The papaya fruit become quick large if the weather stay hot and sunny for a long period.

  • Have you tried grafting female plants to males? This might be a goer as you have so many male plants. Cheers

  • The only reason I've ever heard for having blocks/rocks under the tree is to encourage root spread. Does anyone know what the average yield for a Paw Paw tree is? Thanks, am planning on planting a few of these trees myself,

  • why don't you cover them with bags like you do with grapes and other fruits?

  • Thank so much for this video

  • @dwiggs77 Have you tried wrapping the fruit in a bag early on before the wasp's get to it?

  • @Lacadien911 They are different trees/ fruit, but the true name of this one is Papaya. Its just a difference in the common naming convention.

    In Australia the common name is Paw Paw, but as I said, technically its not correct.

  • isnt paw paw and papaya 2 differents fruits? why do evryone talk about papaya?

  • @cheweydan Limited space here ill try and answer some, papaya are susceptible to fungal disease, you do not want to over water. some varieties are more resilient than others, check Alohaseeds website for dif varieties, tree sex can be determined by the flower, if its on a long branching stem, its male, you can get more info online, also check tropicalpermaculture site, they have an article on growing papaya.

  • @gilgamesh1962 how can i protect my plants from infection and hardship?

    does the lime really work?

    Is the HEM more resilient to hardship.

    in the past I've grown papaya that was infected in such a way that the trunk was hollow and rotton inside while appearing healthy, the fruit growed to a size of an avocado , stayed green and rotted on the inside also.what may have been the cause of this?

    how else can i decide for sure on my tree's sex ?

    how can i organiclly treat and maintain?
