Can I suggest that you submit your question to the Daleys Fruit Tree Forum -> Click Here
If you can give a picture of your passionfruit vine and perhaps your flowers as well.
An idea off the top of my head is that you may have a pollination problem. But would be great to know more details. However I would wait a bit longer then a few weeks for the passionfruit to start forming.

Bill this is quite normal. What happens is the passionfruit overcompensate it's ability to carry all the fruit.
It is good to keep the water up to it and what I do is the ones that are shriveling up I pick off and throw away that way the vine can put more energy into the ones it is choosing to carry through to copmletion.

Another thing I heard was if you can open up the passionfruit and see if there are any seeds inside.
If there are none then you have a pollination issue.

Thanks for the response. I opened one of the first one's to set, but there
was only white fluffy stuff inside. There are insects and bees on them, but
if I take pollen from one and spread it on the stamen of another that should
do it?

can anyone tell me if it is possible to ripen fruit that has already come off the vine, they still have the immediate stalk attached but we needed to take the fence down that the passionfruit vine was growing on and was hoping they might still ripen off the vine, the fruit is very large and fully grown in size but still yellow/green.thanks

We have a very healthy passion fruit vine (Port Macquarie NSW) and it has been suggested that you wait for the ripened fruit to drop to the ground rather than picking from the vine.
Comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Brian

Can you grow a passion fruit in a pot?

I am prety sure that you can grow them in pots. Here is a blog entry where someone was growing them in big containers.

Hello
I have a vine that is 6 months old and grew beautifully and quickly - had flowers but no fruit. It now seems to be shedding its leaves starting at the stem. The first 2 meters of the vine are now bare and it seems to be spreading across the vine. The far end of the vine is still growing well and looks healthy. What is going on??

I have an almost 3 year old passionfruit tree in melbourne and every summer, flowers appear, but i haven't had any fruit yet. does a passionfruit tree need a male and female plant to germinate for fruit?

I was wondering what is the best type of trellis for a passionfruit?
What kind of wire, what height and width?

Hi, I built a couple of small planting boxes around the supports of my patio. Planted a passionfruit in each, built a trellis out of plastic wire, and bingo, I have two vigorous vines that are full of fruit in less than a year. I keep the water up to them and regularly top up the soil with compost and manure. I'll build a trellis along my back fence and plant some more.

Hi my passionfruit vine is one year old, in full sun and planted in good soil. It only has one fruit and 3 flowers. Do I need to do something for it? Is this normal because it is only 12 months old? Any information would be great. Thanks Red

hello to all you passionfruit lovers.I have grown 4 at a time, of mixed varieties & of which onlly 2 survived. A golden panama & another golden smaller variety. They love plenty of potash & water & I recon, you just have to be lucky to get a vine that bares plenty of fruit. The grafted varieties do better than one's grown from seed, as they're more disease resistant. My smaller passio variety started offin '07, with abundant flowers, but no fruit & this year a few more. Hopefully, next fruiting season, will bring more fruit. The Golden Panama has huge fruit & around 60 all up. I grow them over the fence,on 3 tiers or wire. I simply cut back the runaway runners to keep it neat. Hope this helps y'all.Good luck......Kate

Hi there, I planted a Passionfruit vine from a pot that i purchased from the garden centre around December, it now june and the vine is huge. I feed it with seasol and i throw some chicken manure around it every so often, the sad thing is i only have 1 passionfruit on the vine. The vine is vigorously growing but i have only 1 fruit, what do i need to do to encourage flowering and fruiting. Is it too young to bare a lot of fruit just yet. I also have the vine growing in full sun. cheers Helen

hi Hels. I also have had passionfruit that have not produced. The trick is to get a grafted vine,as these don't get diseases the way the other's do. All I can suggest, is to tear it out & replace it with another. The Panama variety are good producers & Nelly Kelly are very hardy & produce heaps of fruit, in the golden or red type. Good luck

I live in Darwin, australia, and i too have a passionfruit vine. It's beautiful and green and covered in fruit. Potash, potash and more potash. That is all I have used, with a bit of seasol and it flowers beautifully and is covered in fruit. It's also known as sulfate of potash.

Hi,
I live in Melbourne, Australia and have a now 1 year old passionfruit tree with an abundance of fruit on it. It started fruiting during our summer (December) and continued right through to April this year. My question is when will they finally all ripen - I have the occasional ffruit fall and ripen in my fruit bowl - but there must be hundreds of plump green fruit still on the vine during the depths of our winter. Is this normal?

I posted this incorrectly under another post (pruning passionfruit) so maybe I will get a bit more help here.
I put in a small Panama red passionfruit vine about 15 months ago but as of yet there is still no sign of flowers or fruit. It is at the back of my herb garden on my western wall. I think it really only gets the morning sun. Should I expect blossoms any time soon. Thanks for any help!

I have three passion fruit vines with scores of flowers. Every flower displays its beauty for a number of days, then drops off, leaving an empty 'shell'. Not one passion fruit has come into existence. I have watered the plants religiously, and have fed them blood 'n bone plus chicken manure. What have I done wrong...?
