I just learned from my mum that a baby papaya plant with only one straight root is a male and if it has many branches, it is either a female or a bisexual. I've just transplanted a few to the ground, let's see the test results few months later :)miruku https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786900237495687254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751250452858099414.post-48412656213405106872010-10-08T15:59:30.842+08:002010-10-08T15:59:30.842+08:00I hope I can help you but I'm sorry I don'...I hope I can help you but I'm sorry I don't know the way to differentiate the male from female plants when they are still at seedling stage. They all look alike to me, except that some appear to grow faster and they look stronger. I guess the best thing to do now is to select those seedlings that are healthiest. If you have a male plant, you can cook the flowers, e.g. stir fry. I used to have a male papaya tree in my backyard but I didn't know what to do with the tree, so it just ended up as my 'garden decoration' ;-)Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751250452858099414.post-65541737173774284332010-10-07T19:33:06.346+08:002010-10-07T19:33:06.346+08:00The papaya seeds popping out nicely.

One in real black colour and another slightly brownish. He said, the black seeds which is the majority will be females, the brownish males.
