RE: An Invasion In My Garden

Papaya can grow from seed to producing fruit in as little as 7 months. Other fruit trees can take 4 to 5 years to produce from seed. There are 2 methods of producing fruit that are faster: air layering #1 and grafting #2. These two methods can produce fruit in as little as 1 to 2 years, rather than 4 to 5 years from seed growing.
The bigger the growing pot the better, 5 gallon buckets are also a common choice. Like you said you'll have to research into it. I don't know anything about tamarind, I have only done it with other types of fruit.

Wow, thank you for this great insight, I'll research more into it, and you can share the other fruits that has worked please, thank you🙏🙏

Techniques like air layering and grafting work with virtually any fruit tree. Although some are better suited to it than others. Being in a tropical region, I have lychee, breadfruit and rambutan that worked. Rambutan was the hardest.

Oh really, thank you for giving me specifics to further research on, really appreciate this, there might be hope for my tamarind.
