| What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by Lawalemi(op): 3:36pm On Jul 02, 2025 |
I planted this pawpaw tree in my compound and I've just plucked the first set of fruits. Months after, the fruits are going bad on the tree. Please what is the problem and solution?

Stop pouring dirts around the roots. The tree is absorbing dirt and dishing out what is being put to it. Clear the entire ground around the roots and begin to treat it for three months. Make mixture if herbs like Bitter leaf, Ginger and Garlic, blend and use it to water the tree regularly for months till you notice change. Your tree has absorbed too much dirt and it has caused it to become sickly |

Look for pesticides, it’s the season of pests on the trees, just sprinkle it around the roots and thank me later. |

Iffa ea... That's the speech of the pawpaw. It is naturally bad like that. We had that kind of pawpaw in the past we had to cut it down to allow better ones grow. |

Is it planted near a gutter, where soap water and trash pass? Spray with fungicide, maybe it will recover But I doubt Just terminate it |

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR PAWPAW ![]() Well, It's a Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Oidium caricae, is a common disease affecting pawpaw (papaya) trees. It appears as a white or grayish powdery coating on leaves, stems, and sometimes fruit. While it can reduce fruit yield and size, it's usually not fatal to the tree. Proper Hygiene Around The Papaya Coupled With Effectively Chemical Control Isn't A Bad Idea. Thanks. |

Lawalemi:Get a good fungicide and insecticide, prune the affected part and spray. You can likewise get neem oil and apply. |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by MightySparrow: 5:54pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
Lawalemi:I would have asked you to ask Aki and pawpaw but it looks like fungal infection. Any mild fungicide would do if applied. |

Ernerstdavid55:Omo I miss pawpaw.gold old days in my secondary school.when we get home, we quickly rush to the garden and get some almost ripe pawpaw and devour it. This north it seems pawpaw is even more expensive than pineapple. |

Sp33i:OP don’t mind this man. Your plant is being attacked by pests. Find an agriculturist to give you the solution. |

These are Fungi infection that is affecting your tree |

I equally had one like this last year. Nothing like dirt around it at all as it was even in the midst of pumpkin beds. It later yielded better fruits after a new set of fruits formed this year. However, they started getting ripe prematurely, so I eventually had to cut it down a few weeks ago. |

Endeavor to water it often time and indeed keep the environment clean.Good luck |

It's probably COVID 19 You need to get your pawpaw vaccinated with AstraZeneca immediately |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by Jerry2i(m): 6:13pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
Sp33i:I don't think this is the cause. It's a disease that affects carica papaya . I believe someone will or has provided the solution. |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by Topman0001(m): 6:19pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
Several fungi can cause these infections, including Anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides), Fusarium fruit rot, and Alternaria fruit spot. These diseases can manifest as spots, lesions, or overall rot on the fruit, affecting both the appearance and edibility. Fungicide can treat this. Hygiene and cot water treatment can also help. The fruits are not safe for consumption. I'll suggest you pluck the fruits and pour hot water to kill the infection. Then wait for a better harvest next season |

Sp33i:Are dirts not manure? I remember my agriculture lessons in school, we were told that dirts decay to nourish and aid plants growth. |

oglalasioux:And dirts are not sources of pests ? Or antibiotic recommendations i gave wont treat pathogens infecting the plant ? Smh |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by AirBere: 6:56pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
Lawalemi:You can't be serious lol. Better get an agriculturist or better talk to farmers. Zero chance that regularly bathing the tree with bitter leaf, ginger extract will cause a serious change lmao. Nigeria is pure cruise lol 😂😂😂😂 kai |

muyico:So are you saying that in if you feel sick or something you will kpai yourself? So if someone falls sick, that person doesn't have the right to treat himself to get better? That person must die? |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by muyico(m): 7:05pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
OKOATA:plants is different from human being, stop comparing your self with plants?? |
| Re: What Is Happening To My Pawpaw Tree by OKOATA(m): 7:11pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
muyico:Then your education was a waste then. So you don't know that without plants you can't survive? So you don't know the oxygen you breath is gotten from the carbondixide the plants gives back. Go back to school alaye. I pity you. |
