I am excited about sharing our guide to 'Cultivating Dwarf Pawpaw for Profit Making '.

Refreshingly sweet in taste, papayas are bright, pear-shaped, exotic fruits that you’ll easily find in the market throughout the year. Enclosing hundreds of black, rounded gelatinous seeds, the soft, edible orange flesh of papayas is actually nutritious, offering numerous health benefits. Here’s why you need to include these ‘fruits of angels’ in your diet.

Here, are some of the reasons you should include these ‘fruits of angels’ in your diet.
Remember that;

It’s only those who take actions that will see results. Nothing works except we make it work.

General Introduction

Common name: Papaya

Botanical name: Carica papaya

Origin: Originally Tropical America, but it has spread to Indonesia, Thailand and so many parts of the world

Season: All Year Round

Dwarf pawpaw, like other types, has an enzyme that soothes the stomach and calms indigestion. Its inner part is oxblood in color and grows to between 5 to 6 feet. It can last up to 5 years. It is a self-pollinating variety that is also resistant to Papaya ring spot virus. This means that our dwarf pawpaws are hermaphrodites. They pollinate themselves. The fruit typically weighs 4 to 6 pounds, and has excellent flavor, aroma and texture.

Pollination
If a papaya is adequately pollinated, it will bear a light crop of fruits lacking uniformity in size and shape. For a bisexual breed like ours, they all fruit well with no exception from our experience.

Climate
The Papaya is tropical and near tropical specie, very sensitive to frost. It needs plentiful rainfall or irrigation, but must have good drainage. Flooding for 48 hours is fatal.

Soil
While it will do best in light, porous soils rich in organic matter, the plant will grow in scarified limestone or various other soils if it is given adequate care. Optimum PH ranges from 5.5 to 6.7. Overly acidic soils are corrected by working in lime at the rate of 1.2 tonnes per acre.

Pawpaw: One of the Most Underrated Crops
There is no doubt that pawpaw is one of the most disparaged and belittled crops. Why is pawpaw so underrated? It is because it is commonplace. We find it almost everywhere. In fact, it grows on its own without being cultivated. So, why will any serious-minded farmer cultivate it?

To be continued… Next time we’ll discuss the nutritional Benefits of Dwarf Pawpaw
