The Papaya Tree After the Freeze

This year, we have a very mild winter, I have a big hope that some of my papayas fruits will ripen before freeze and I'm right, 2 papayas has been have orange blush at their skin, so I picked them and wrap it with paper bag. a week later while I check it, they all covering with some kind of white fungus, yuck.

3 days after I picked them, freeze kill those trees ! 

Here's the Trees before freeze

And here's the Tress few days later after freeze



I planting the trees too close to the wall, and only get the sun from morning until midday, seem like they tried looking for more sunlight, until they are facing that way. My niece said I have a lazy papaya tree :-)

Today, while I planning to pull all of them, I saw a new sprouting at the bottom, yeaaa... they are coming back ! Each tree have more than one stem, aaahmazing.




Wishing I will have a better luck with them this year, crossing my finger ;-)

Another tropical plants who's surprisingly back to life after I'm forgot to save them from freeze last winter are :
1. Two years old avocado seedling
2. Bougainvillea
3. One year old Angel Trumpet cutting
4. Paper flower vine
5. Kangkong (asian vegetable)



The other's who's not survive:
1. Double Layer Pink Hibiscus
2. Red  and Pink Mandeville vine

Still keep watering them with hope they'll be back to me
