Papaya trees



Papaya plant is really survivor. Last month, monkeys have broken all the leaves of the plants. I'm not sure why. I thought these both trees will die but they survived!


 The plants have put up so much leaves. The female papaya have branched out too. Anyone know if i should let it be or cut the branch?


Does papaya tree need male plant flower to produce fruit? I do not know the variety as it was sowed from market bought fruit.

The male and female tree is growing at same place.. I never seen any fruits yet. However so many flowers have been blooming.

Nangka

I was wondering in the garden last weekend when something urge me to see the nangka fruit. I press the fruit and it was soft. I try to smell and it has divine smell! The nangka is ripe!  Thank you Joyce from little potted garden and Bangchik and kak dah for their useful tips to ensure the fruit ripeness! 



I cut the fruit and bring it the inside. I smear my hand with oil and cut open them immediately. The fruit was sweet. My first harvest without any damage!
