Papaya Tree

I have some sad news. I loss one of my massive Papaya trees yesterday. It was windy, but should not have toppled this tree; however, after I collected the Papaya fruit and weighed them I now suspect it was simply top heavy. 
Just 3 years old.
This is my last mature Papaya tree. It is also 3 years old. Papaya tree typically remain productive for 8 or nine years, so lost out on a lot of future fruit, but I have one sapling starting to bear fruit and have another in a planter ready to be transplanted.
The weight of the Papaya I collected weighed over 20 Kg (44 lbs).
