The papaya tree prefers hot and humid environments, is not cold-tolerant, has a shallow root system, is resistant to strong winds and stagnant water, and does not have strict geothermal requirements. Commonly found in hilly mountainous areas, adaptable to the soil, but suitable for planting in loose and fertile sandy loam or well-drained loam. Papaya trees can be sown in January-February in spring and summer. Papaya trees can live for hundreds of years, but there is a kind of papaya tree in Guangdong and other places that can only live for about 20-30 years. Papaya trees are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, while in China they are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian, Taiwan Province and other provinces. There are four common types of papaya: papaya, Hawaiian papaya, Xuan papaya, and wrinkled-skin papaya. 2010-2010, the papaya tree was planted in suitable areas, and blossomed and bore fruit 3-5 years later. At the seedling stage, overly dense new growth should be thinned. After the emergence of seedlings, the soil should be kept moist. When it grows to 2-3 leaves, watering should be reduced. thin fertilizer should be applied diligently at the 4-leaf stage, and the seedlings can be refined at the 5-leaf stage. It can be transplanted into the ground in the following spring.

How many years to grow papaya trees for fruiting

After grafting, papaya saplings will bear fruit every 3-4 years if properly maintained and managed. If the maintenance environment is poor, it takes 4-5 years.

Grafted papaya trees bloom and bear fruit

Potted papaya plants usually bloom and bear fruit in three to five years. It is a sun-loving plant, so it should not be placed in a shady environment when kept in pots, and it is difficult to bloom when avoiding light for a long time.

Why papaya trees do not bear fruit

When planting on papaya trees, choose good quality varieties, but also choose varieties that are suitable for the local environment, that can pollinate each other, that have water control during the flowering period, and that have thin flowers and fruits. Papaya self-pollination fruiting rate is high, easy to sit, high fruit quality, flowering can be bee pollination or artificial pollination.
