When planting dig a massive hole, fill with compacted 50/50 fresh horse manure/garden soil mix. Add compost on top. Water reg during 1st year's growth. Will grow really fast & after 18 months we've got 130 passion fruit on it in June. | Hodgo - Helidon, QLD 10-Jun-2017

Go and see your butcher and see if he can get an Ox heart. Dig a 600mm hole for the heart fill and plant the vine on top. I believe they like the high iron content. | Brian Pegler - Thornton, NSW 15-Sep-2017

Passionfruit - Panama Red (Grafted) 9/10 Anonymous's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3107 days 13hrs Comments: - Why do I worship Passionfruit?? Let me count the ways: Easy to grow, looks great/lush, perfect flower, no pests, versatile fruit - can even chuck the whole fruit in the freezer when there is a glut - no prep or packaging required! In order to save space I have: Panama Gold - grafted Black/purples - grafted (Nelly kelly brand) Pan Red seedling (photo) Sunshine special seedling (has a mild woodiness virus) Common red seedling (cinnabarina - sp?) The panama red and golds are great. They do tend to flower much later in summer (as we are semi-tropical) and carry fruit right thru till next spring - with them slowing ripening and dropping thru winter. The winter ripened one's are not as sweet as in those that ripen in the warmer weather. The pan red seedling is out of control and fruits madly. The purple Nellie Kellies: it took 4 vines before I got a "go-er" - I love the intense flavour of any of the purples the best. Nov 2010: I am probably less than a month of harvest - so they are much earlier than the panamas. The sunshine special is a lovely large fruit that tastes more like a purple. It's about a month behind the the NK purple. Lorna in Albany is growing these - so they can handle cool climates. Very tasty fruit and a little sweeter than NK purple. My common red (Big Red) is a dud - produces very round, very heavy, yellow fruit that is as sour as a lemon! yukk. I lavish lots of water and manure on my vines. They have very shallow and searching roots so it doesn't pay to be tidy around them - I leave all the leaf litter and give them a wheelbarrow load of manure at a time (out to radius 2m from trunk) Some late winter/early spring dynamic lifter or blood n bone, trace elements and potash good too. Need lots of water when holding a big crop. A little magnesium also helps to sweeten them. A very hungry and thirsty vine - and with the huge size they get to and the fruit load they can carry - it's not surprizing!? I believe passionfruit like their roots in the shade and their head in full sun. They seem to appreciate a cool root run and training against a warm masonary wall is perfect in a cool climate. I have not needed to hand pollinated to date.
