Papaya

Uniqueness: Local papaya seed selected from Tamil Nadu farms—sweet, aromatic fruit with soft flesh; rich in vitamin C, vitamin A (beta-carotene), digestive enzyme papain and folate. Great for home orchards and year-round harvest.

How to grow:

- Best soil: deep, well-drained loam with lots of organic matter; avoid waterlogged soils. 

- Sunscreen: full sun, 6–8 hours for best fruiting and sweetness. 

- Watering: regular watering; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; reduce in heavy rains. 

- Nutrients: compost at planting, regular liquid feed high in potassium during fruiting. 

- Companion plants: plant with nitrogen-fixing legumes at a distance to improve soil; avoid shade from tall trees. 

- Care tips: space saplings 2–3 m apart, remove diseased leaves and damaged fruits, stake young plants against wind.
