- Trim off dead or damaged leaves regularly.
- Prune lower branches to encourage upward growth.
9. Protecting from Frost:
- Papayas are sensitive to frost. If you live in a colder climate, consider growing the tree in a large pot that you can move indoors during the winter.
10. Harvesting Papayas:
- Papayas usually start producing fruit within 6-11 months from planting.
- Harvest the fruit when it reaches a good size and changes color (often yellow or orange, depending on the variety).
- Cut the papaya from the tree rather than pulling it to avoid damaging the plant.
