I have had mine for about 8 months and planted in a 2'x2' planter box moved inside for winter in Wa state. Lots of new leaves in past few months so hope full a bud or two not far behind. Plant needs to aclimate to your conditions first. When I first got it all the leaves fell off in a month or so and then grew since it was shocked and adjusting. Plant has done great so far so I am in for long haul now. I would guess after a year or more it could bear fruit but looks nice indoor even with no fruit. Resemble s a indoor bamboo type plant.

I have had mine for a year....still very small plants and no fruit. I have no idea how long before it will produce. I am sure you could contact Matt at Hirt's; he is very helpful.

I have only had the tree for two years and it has not produced any fruit yet. It depends on where you live if there is a chance of freezing I would not plant it in the ground.

I'm not sure Erik. I planted mine outside but I have yet to get a flower or fruit. The plant does seem to be thriving so maybe I'll see flowers and fruit next spring.

It depends on a lot of things. The nutrient mix of your soil, raised beds,container etc. Stage of your plants. I do raised beds square foot gardening. I use this every 3-4 weeks after plants are about six weeks old and then every other week once the start fruiting. This is a soil supplement so it does not replace good balanced soil.

I got mine last summer and it's growing well. I live in Florida and our winter has been mild I have not had to cover it at all. No fruit yet.

I can only go by my experience. After I planted the strawberries it was about 3-4 weeks before they showed sign of becoming stable new leafs growth. Then the flowering came which is the fruit they was small strawberries. I wouldn't purchase them again. FYI strawberries can produce like crazy so planted in large area. Doing weather time you have to put hay on them for protection

It depends on the type of plants. Two tomatoes or peppers. More of the smaller types. I currrently have mine full of strawberries, started with six, but they have dropped new plants and I am not sure how many there are. I am picking lots of strawberries!

Like 15-20 days, but mines died after, i think they dont grow good in my region. Dont store it long time.

3.5 ft, the landscaper said it will be 1-2 years till it fruits from planting. Personal comment I would add is it is tolerating the Phoenix heat of summer very well with minimal watering

I'd say not more than a couple days. It is well packaged but it's a tree. Needs sun and water. The large box is filled with packing peanuts and the pot is wrapped in plastic. Really no way to care for the plant without removing it from the box. It's a very nice tree at a good price. Worth the effort.

You can eat the fruit. I'm not sure how many years it takes to get fruit. I purchased my tree 11 months ago. It is thriving very well, look great. I have had blooms but no fruit.

Water the papaya tree every other day through maturity. Fertilize the newly planted papaya with ( 1/4lb of 14-14-14 fertilizer) every two weeks until it reaches 8 months old.

As many as you want .... just keep putting in almost frozen ripe bananas and what ever other almost frozen fruit you want. We like various berries.

all i can say is this... you can slide the plant outside on the patio for the spring and summer and it will produce fruit that way. you can slide it back inside the house for the winter and it should go dormant until spring. i am not really an expert to answer this question. if you could keep it by a bright window receiving lots of light from the sun it might produce fruit. it would be a cheap and fun experiment to try out anyway.a plant light might help. it would be fun just to try and see if it works.thanks!!!

It's not age that determines when it's ready to produce fruit, but the bulk of the cactus itself. Many growers say that the cacti must weight about 10lbs before you have any chance of it fruiting. The growth of the cactus varies by climate. I live in Connecticut, and unfortunately my cactus has to live indoors for half of the year to avoid frost damage. I've had it for almost 3 years and it still hasn't borne fruit. I'm hoping this summer will finally be fruitful, pun intended!
