How long do papayas take from seed?
« on: January 17, 2026, 04:52:40 PM »
Im growing some papayas from seed and most of them have 3 pairs of true leaves and are around 2 inches tall. How long will it take for fruit?

I've had some start producing in about a year, depending on timing. Make sure they get water but drain well.
