Nice! I\'m dismayed. One of the bonuses about Papayas is that they are relatively pest free. This winter some field mice have developed a taste for Papaya leaf salad. I noticed all the top leaves gone, a couple evenings later I busted the little sucker loudly sawing the leaves away. I want to throw out poison, but my cat is quite the hunter albeit failing me with this intruder so far. It also crowed 40 seedlings in the greenhouse.
