Recently Les Jefferson from Harvey Bay hybridised a Passiflora quadrangularis with a Passiflora alata. He used pollen from the Granadilla to get his P. alata to set fruit, which was self infertile. He sent me seed of the resulting cross which I grew on and the picture is the resulting fruit. Smaller in size than the Giant Granadilla but with a very nice sweet flavour similar to the P. alata. Has anyone else tried to hybridise other passionfruit?Labels: passionfruit

Looks delicious,
I have a Passionfruit Red in the backyard growing along our fence. It is only 6 months old and has hundreds of passionfruit on it ripening up now. They sure do love sunny Brisbane Australia :)

I had a friend in Arkansas who was doing some Passiflora breeding, but sadly the creek near his home flooded and took out most of his plants. I don't know if he ever did anything more with it or not...
