Papaya Seedling

Papaya have been my favorite fruits since young! They are packed with Vitamins.

I decided to plant papaya tree in my garden.




They are growing slowly. I hope Monkeys will spare them. In the past the monkeys always break and eat the young shoots.



I'm not sure if the plant is male or female. Hope I have few fruits to eat in future!

  1. Oh I have never known if monkey likes the young papaya shoots. I hope your plant will be safe.

  2. My favourite too, Malar! Funny, just the other day I saw a man carrying several papaya seedlings to work... maybe to give away. I hope yours will flourish well and that they are all female ones... fingers crossed!

  4. Malar, I read somewhere on the net saying female papaya seedling has 5 lobes leaves while male only has 3, and the male seedling has one straight root. I also have a few papaya seedlings and i keep the female seedling planted nicely at the back of my house, i hope they will bear sweet fruits.
