passionfruit identity

    4 responses

Andy starts with ...
My "grafted black passionfruit" from Bunnings seems to have suffered an identity crisis. The result of a long wait are these first fruit which drop from the vine in a pinkish colour and darken to a deeper red in the kitchen. They are very sweet and well flavoured but have little pulp. Can anyone tell me which variety they might actually be.
thanks

Panama red by the looks , most likely a label switch . Still very tasty fruit , I have been picking and packing for a local commercial grower . These are usually picked when all pink , as they do not drop when ripe like many other types .

just cut open 5 fruits and got 200ml of delicous pulp , will pour over my muesli now . This is a sweet tasting one and worthy of growing . Who needs grafted ones in suitable climates . They are only for poor marginal growers in temperate climates . First ones I grew in QLd were Golden Hawaiian , and they are superb . Have also seen a cross between it and Panama Red .
