Share29 + 1 Tweet EmailShares 29 in southern Taiwan, where the seasons are warm, with fields, wastelands and riverbeds, papaya is a very common fruit tree. It seems that it can bear fruit without human care, relying on sunlight, air and water. Papaya is afraid of too much moisture, the root is easy to rot, but also easy to get sick, located in the coastal areas of the Nan Nong Creek and Nanzi Xianxi River Basin, due to the climate, Rain Water and soil characteristics, the planted papaya is particularly delicious.

Good mountains, good water, good people, good melons

The cultivation range of papaya can range from tropical flat land to 1500 meters above sea level, from 32 °north latitude to 32 °south latitude. The suitable temperature for growth was about 22-26 ℃, and the sunshine length had no effect on papaya, but sufficient sunlight and low humidity were needed in the fruiting period to promote the growth of fruit pulp. Papaya likes well-ventilated loam or sandy loam, so it is suitable to choose land with convenient irrigation. Considering the above basic conditions, the climate and environment of Kaohsiung six turtles, Chinese fir forest, Meinong and Qishan are exactly the same.

Every December, the Farmers' Association of Cunninghamia lanceolata holds a "melon festival" in the way of carnival and rural experience. Papaya, pumpkin, melon, towel gourd and balsam pear are all protagonists. Ye Rongji, director of the promotion unit of Chinese fir forest area, said: "Cunninghamia lanceolata has mountain wind all the way, and there is a big temperature difference between day and night." the live water injected into Nanzi Xianxi brings minerals, high iron content in the soil and moonlight mountain barrier, and the climate is mild in winter. Compared with the cooler weather in the central and northern regions, it is not suitable for melons to grow, but Chinese fir forests are most suitable for growing melons and fruits in winter, and melons can be harvested all the year round. "

The main producing areas of six tortoise papaya are concentrated in Xinwei area, which is located on the west bank of Guannong Creek, which is originally part of the old riverbed of Mengnong Creek, but the long-standing alluvial sandy loam is fertile and has good drainage when the rainy season comes, which is beneficial to the growth of papaya. The mountains of Kaohsiung have good mountains, good water, and good people, and good melons are on the market at the right time and place.
