Thank goodness I didn't put my two papaya trees in the ground this year. I have pampered them now for two years. They are both about 7 ft tall. The last time we talked I had a spider mite problem. I used a "bad" chemical product and burned some of the leaves but it got rid of the mites. I have them on my patio so they don't get all the water. I noticed this morning that the leaves are getting bigger. They probably think they are in their native tropical land. I did plant a baby in the flowerbed this spring and it has not grown much due to the rain but it is alive. As far as I know I am the only one in this part of NE Texas who has a pineapple (has taken over two years) and papaya trees.
