Papaya update - Victory, almost
« on: May 20, 2012, 01:29:16 PM »
After almost 3 years, I finally have flowers on my Sunrise papayas.  I've lost many due to cold/rain, but I have 3 that are thriving.  They have no protection.  They are near the wall on the east/south facing side of the house.  Perhaps they have a cold-resistance gene.

Hi Rodney,

Congrat's on the flowering papaya...fingers crossed hope you get fruit's from those flowers ;)
Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of your life!

That's great Rodney,
I've seen quite a few fruiting papayas in OC, outdoors, so I'm glad to see that yours are able to thrive with no protection. How tall is this one?
