I have a young red pawpaw tree (just over 9 months old) which is bisexual. It has heaps of fruit but they get to the size of a hens egg and drop. I nearly cry when I see another one bite the dust! There are no sign of bugs on them.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Sonja, I wonder if all the fruit drop off. If so, the tree may be in need of more water as it is native to moist areas and requires moist, well drained soil at all times.
If you are losing one or three in a bunch of five fruit then don't worry - the pawpaw blossom is very generous and will produce up to five fruit at a time in order to drop a few.
As the few fruit drop, the remaining fruit get bigger.
Sounds like it needs more water to me.
