My Papaya tree is oozing?

Hey Jen,

Do you know what the little clear dots are on my Papaya?  And do you know when the fruit will be ready for harvest?

Hi Jules,

I think the oozing from the Papaya are sugars produced by the plant. It is probably a normal phenomenon caused by heat, humidity or some other climactic pressure.

Heidi Sheesley from TreeSearch Farms said that the fruit would begin to turn yellow then (she does not have experience this is an assumption) it could be harvested and ripened inside like an avocado.
