    The best description of how to grow papaya yet, informative and to the point without the dribble some sites go on with, thankyou.
  • @jeweleratlarge
    I’m growing 24 in my greenhouse in northern Michigan … a challenge for sure, but doing well and fruiting
  • @k-sell4065
    Thank you I finally found a video without loud music and no explaining their process 😊
  • @gidget8717
    Thanks to you, we are redoing our entire yard! (Can't say my husbands too thrilled with you tho 🤭)
  • 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!)
  • @maroosk
    I never unsubscribed but when i watched the video i wasn't subscribed anymore, i hope yt isn't messing around, i need the info and love it.
  • @Sassycatsoapery
    Hi from Tampa Bay! Thanks for this video! I enjoy papaya and would really like to grow some. Thanks for the helpful info!
  • @anaputiri9598
    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!!
  • @ant6516
    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)
  • I really enjoy all of the education that you put out on your videos. I’m learning so much. Thank you. ☺️
  • @RyanBetker
    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 😍
  • 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.
  • @vickilynn10
    Perfect timing! I have a papaya that I need to plant in the ground when I get home this weekend. 👍🏻
  • @vmr6771
    Green papaya salad is awesome. I eat that from the Thai restaurant and eat it with a curry dish. Good stuff.
  • I'm glad you talked about the funk smell. One of my coworkers had one at work and I was gagging from the smell. I need to taste one and see if I like the taste.
  • @georgweyand88
    Thank you for the great information on growing papaya.
  • @shox820
    I have that compost bin! Had no clue you were in St Pete! I moved here 4 months ago from the midwest and I am learning how to do things down here in the tropics.
