I have 5 papayas but this one is affected the most. I don’t think it’s sunburn cause it’s only 70 degrees during the day and sun only lasts 5 hours. Night is in the high 40’s

Use liquid Fish fertilizer and dry fertilizer once a month and use Iron fertilizer once every 2 months. This feeding schedule was recommended to me by echo farms, I followed it and grew my most productive papaya.

I use fish and kelp as a foliar spray frequently. I don’t think they need a lot of fertilizer in the winter? They stopped growing when it started getting colder
