Papaya tree problems

[mahmedk]

Dear All,

I've just joined the forum formally, however, I've been an avid reader of your forum for a long time. I must say that I am impressed by the interest and knowledge of your respected members and would like to thank them for teaching me quite a few basics of gardening.

With regards to my reason for this post..

I have a papaya tree at home that has just started to fruit but I have been observing for a few days that an increasing number of its leaves are turning yellow. I did remove a few yellow leaves and it is sprouting new leaves as well but now quite a large number of older leaves as well as the upper branches/leaves are also turning yellow.

I've attached pictures as well and am hopeful that someone might give me useful tips to make my tree healthy again. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

P.S. The tree is planted near Taxila (Rawalpindi District).

Use a systemic fungicide...

I want to visit some papaya trees for finding insect pests of papaya trees and fruits for research purpose. Can you tell me about the locations of papaya trees grown in islamabad or rawalpindi??

It is not a tree for Islamabad or Taxila will not survive a frost.
