OUR FUNNY PAPAYA TREES

Some of our papaya trees grow rather peculiarly ~

This one has to be supported because it's too heavily laden.

                                             1)

                               
                                            2)

These two grow at the corner and side of brick work!

Ever seen papaya like these?

 These are conisidered 'male' papaya trees and will not bear fruit, only flowers.  These are eaten as vegetables but beware, they are very bitter, and must be cooked in a special way.

Last but not least, don't give up on your dying papaya tree!

Our papaya tree was on the verge of dying.  We lobbed off the top and it sprouted so many branches we had to remove some.  See? We have more papaya fruit!
