Carica papaya

Carica Papaya is usually called Papaya. Its tree shape is very unique. It has only one independent trunk and no branches. Its leaves and fruits grow on the top of the branches. When the fruit is immature, it is cyan. It can be used as a vegetable. After maturity, it becomes yellow. The pulp has strong aroma and rich juice, which is very attractive. In addition, its fruit has unique medicinal value. If you plant papaya tree in your family yard, you can not only enjoy its unique shape, but also enjoy delicious fruit.
Carica Papaya is suitable for planting in the tropics and subtropics. It is not cold resistant. When the temperature is 10 ℃, it grows slowly. When the temperature is as low as 0 ℃, its leaves wither and plants die. The growth of Carica Papaya needs sufficient water and light. Insufficient water and light will lead to slow plant growth, slender stems and leaves, poor flowering and fruiting and so on. However, when too much water in the soil leads to ponding, Carica Papaya will rot its roots and hinder its growth. Therefore, Carica Papaya grows best in loose and easily drained soil.
