I had the same thing happen to me with Papaya I bought from Lowes. It was doing great until around Dec. ,loaded with fruit, and then it turned to mush. If they are planted in containers I read the trick is to cover the soil with cardboard or plastic to shed the water. Anything to keep the rain out. And if it's planted inground on a mound that should work also.
