Papayaपपीता

Fruit within a year, from almost nothing.

The fastest fruit you can plant — a papaya set out in the monsoon can be cropping the following summer. Short-lived, so treat it as a three-year plant and replace it.

  1. Full sun and free-draining soil. It will not tolerate waterlogging.
  2. Water every other day, but never let it sit wet — the stem rots.
  3. Plant two or three; some are male and will not fruit.
  4. Plant at the start of the monsoon for the best establishment.
