Growing Papaya Trees at Home

• Trim off dead or damaged leaves regularly.
• Prune lower branches to encourage upward growth.

9. Protecting from Frost:

• Papayas are sensitive to frost. If you live in a colder climate, consider growing the tree in a large pot that you can move indoors during the winter.

10. Harvesting Papayas:

• Papayas usually start producing fruit within 6-11 months from planting.
• Harvest the fruit when it reaches a good size and changes color (often yellow or orange, depending on the variety).
• Cut the papaya from the tree rather than pulling it to avoid damaging the plant.
