how can I tell if its male or female without it flowering first. Its yet to flower. Do male plants not flower at all?
I planted few fresh seeds of strawberry papaya about 3 years ago and two survived and are about 5 feet tall now. Wondering why they have not flowered at all. I heard that these flower and fruit within first 12 months based on conditions.I have them planted on South-West wall planter where it remains warm and in summer heat from stucco reflects on these plants. They get watered twice a week, deep watering.Any idea what might be wrong?
Oscar specified strawberry papaya is aka sunrise papaya
Thanks Buddy, I always thought papayas love heat, I will try to transplant them in winter time around Nov.
