I know that when it was time to wrap things up that fall, I had to use a machete to disassemble my 8 foot Papaya tree! It did make a lot of compost.

As soon the fruit is ripe I might try starting a few of them and cutting them low and see if I can force them.

Good luck!

There is an “exotic” fruit tree exhibit that I visit every year at the Orange County Fair - love looking at the trees (permanent exhibit) - and have mulled over trying to grow a few. Lost two avocados, I’ll never plant one again.

I’m considering a cherimoya - we had several at my workplace that actually produced fruit - but I’ve never seen one anywhere else around here. Might be my next fruit tree project...

Hope your papaya thrives.
