A couple of pictures of my set up, can get up to 110+ in full sun at my site, and will get into the 100's in the GH due to the arrangement. Ventilation on N side, should be opposite but im limited by my access.
I put roll up sides on mine and leave both long sides and the back wide open for 6+ months a year.
Hi Nate nice photos, btw I would have never thought that you could grow papaya outside in your area, what variety is it? Regards Patrick
Thanks for the support everyone! Stoked to be able to share this awesome collection with everyone.
I have a lot of success growing Babaco Papaya, Vasconcellea x pentagona , V. pubescens, V. palandensis, V. quercifolia and a few others!
Do you have any Paladensis for sale? I just don’t have luck growing them from seeds lol!
Got my plants today, they are very healthy, couldn't be happier really.
thanks very much
Got my order today. Plants were much larger than expected, healthy and very well packaged. Everything arrived intact. Great communication. Thanks again.
p.s. I just Love the jaboticaba sticker
I'm tempted by the Guabiyu - Myrcianthes Pungens. What kind of temperatures/light have these seedlings endured? I'm in Phoenix, where summers are extra brutal.The seedlings have endured temperatures down to 33*F and done just fine with new growth completely undamaged! I have two 7 foot tall Guabiju up against S facing walls so they get a ton of reflective heat and seem to be doing particularly great. Seedlings have been getting mixed light but I've left some in full sun and they don't seem to be slowed down. I'll be down in Phoenix over the holidays if you want to meet up and save on shipping!

I like spinners, Netafim Jr to be specific (not easy to find). The top reason is that I fertilize / improve the soil with compost and mulch and the rain provided by the spinner makes it decompose and penetrate over time. But I'm in SoCal with less natural rain than you... Also, I have hard well water and drip gets clogged over time and you can't really see that until the tree tells you and by then it's far too late. In the veggie garden I use drip and inject citric acid to keep it going plus replace about every 2 years, plus it's easier to see there... The thing I don't like about the spinners is that they tend to wet the trunk of the tree... Lots of considerations you have to weigh based on your specific requirements...
