Grows best in well drained, rich soils with a uniform texture. Foot rot and leaf curl virus are fatal diseases to protect against. Seeds are sown in seed bag and transplanted to the main field when ready. Fruiting begins at 9 months and continues for a couple of years. At OrganicSiri, we grow all our crops in our own farms organically without use of fertilizers or chemicals.
Storage
Fruit that has turned slightly yellow should be kept at room temperature for a few days to ripen. To get the most flavor out of ripe fruit, store it in the refrigerator and eat it within two or three days. Cut pieces of the ripe fruit can also be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for a day or two.

Lakshmana Srini –
Delicious Papaya. I have utmost liking towards this fruit and believe me I have been trying to find out & experience the real taste of Organic Papaya which is grown without any pesticides and artificial ripening techniques.nBecause right from my childhood we used to have a home garden where papaya’s used to be cultivated.That taste which i experienced haven’t got repeated anywhere till now until i tasted nature pink’s papaya. Most of the Papaya’s we get in the city are processed using artificial ripening techniques and most of the times the milk from papaya gets extracted which makes it tasteless .nBut believe me, I should give full marks to Nature Pinks for bringing in wonderful cultivation methods. I enjoyed its great taste.Please give it a try once. You’ll not forget again.
