Things You'll Need:
- Fresh papaya seeds
- Garden space
- Shovel
- Compost
-
Step 1
Gather seeds from a variety of papaya you like.
-
Step 2
Locate a space in your garden where a papaya tree will look good. Be sure there is plenty of soil for the roots to spread.
-
Step 3
Dig a hole with your shovel and then mix in a shovelful of organic compost.
-
Step 4
Make 5 holes in the area you have prepared--circle them around the area about 2 inches apart.
-
Step 5
Bury 1 papaya seed in each hole, about 1-inch deep.
-
Step 6
Keep the area well watered until the seeds sprout.
-
Step 7
When the young trees are about 1-foot tall, thin out the weaker, smaller plants, leaving just 1 strong tree in each area you have planted.
-
Step 8
If you feel it is necessary, apply an all-purpose fertilizer twice each year. However, papayas are very hardy and produce fruit even without fertilizer.
