Sounds like a similar climate to northern Australia, pawpaw and kankong grow extremely well.
while we miss out on stone fruit there's a whole world of exotic fruits that only do well in the tropics (except durian, that can rot in hell)
- mucholove 5y agoOoh! Love the idea of Kankong :) I have a "pawpaw" (we call them lechoza) going. It sprouted in my worm bin and it's doing well. What strategy do you use to keep the soil muddy for kangkong?
- pvaldes 5y agoTake in mind that pawpaw means different things in different areas. The real paw paw is Asimina. Lechosa is the papaya (Carica), also called (incorrectly) pawpaw because... it sounds similar. Papaya is a Mayan word and should be used instead. Very different creatures. Carica is tropical. Asimina is temperate and can live in areas with snow. Carica is superfast. Asimina starts as a very slow grower. Fruits taste totally different.
- ioseph 5y agoIn the case of kankong I placed a cutting in my frog pond and it's taking over! So in a container of water is good, bonus to add some small fish for mosquito control (or just change the water every few days)
