  • I transplanted my papaya sapling into a taller pot with roughly 3x the mass of coco coir to give it more room to develop. The sapling blew over in storm, which will be an issue going forward I have yet to solve. I'm thinking this will grow much bigger and fruit in 2023 next year.

    Your channel has inspired me to grow my trees from seed so they have a better chance of making it in AZ. I recently got these seeds off of Etsy: loquat, ice cream bean, persimmon, monkey pod, blackberry jam, strawberry guava. One that might be cool for you to try is Surinam Cherry. Its more of a bush.

      I saw Surinam cherry at my local exotic plant nursery before. May all your exotic fruit seeds germinate successfully.

    FYI: Papaya are either male or female. You can tell from the flower shape. For fruiting you'll need the complimentary tree. Some have both male and female flowers but these are rarer.

    I read papaya cannot have the tops pruned because the plant will die but if your tree has branches maybe this isn't the case. I love seeing these updates.
    For th. flowers, I think you need male and female plants for successful pollination of these.

      I never heard of a plant that dies from the apical meristem/top shoot dying or getting pruned. Mine seems fine but like you said it may not be able to fruit alone.

    Such an awesome channel. Do you still have your pomegranate tree? If so it would be amazing to do an update on that! Keep up the great deed!

      No, it's gone, it perished early 2022. Too bad I didn't transplant it into coco coir like I did all the other survivors of the last move.

      Thats a shame. But we can only learn from that and continue to improve our intentions and strategies!

    there are 3 types of flower with papaya,
    MALE - DOES NOT FRUIT
    FEMALE - REQUIRES MALE TO FRUIT
    BISEXUAL - CAN POLLINATE ITSELF, MAY HAVE BOTH MALE AND FEMALE PARTS IN ITS FLOWER, OR SEPERATE
    it depends on what type of papaya you bought it from, but if its from grocery store, its most likely to be bisexual.
    PS: basing on the flower you got from papaya, its bisexual
    Edit: Female flowers usually have the petals going forward out, bisexual have its flower going straight but at the end, it goes outwards, male have flower that looks normal, they grow in clumps.

    My papaya tree would always drop a lot of leaves all the time and it doesn’t hold a lot of leaves

    I love this series!
    and I hate to say it but it looks like it's a male papaya tree based on the flowers but it could be a hermaphrodite. If you could grow a female in the future they would cross pollinate and you could get a lot of fruit

      I'd give them magnesium chloride. .01mg/liter ought to be ok

    I just started growing a Joshua Tree and I am curious on how much sunlight it should get per day.

    • @TheMelvinWei
      @TheMelvinWei  Рік тому

      Full sun is what they do best in, especially if they have humans providing water year round (seedlings do best in the partial shade of a nurse plant due to lack of water). In the wild they grow on high desert mostly flat regions, so they receive maximum hours of full sun.
