Grows vigorously and has many flowers each year, but has not set a single fruit for over 5 years in spite of attempts at manual pollination and cross pollination with granadillaxlilikoi variety. Therefore have removed the plant.

Fantastic grower for Warners Bay. A prodigious year round fruit producer, but you need a huge fence

Feb 2014; well, I can't say I'd recommend growing this passionfruit. The fruit are large and a nice outside colour but the pulp is a greyish mass and, while terribly sweet, seemed to have a sickly taste. Maybe just my palate but I shan't be growing this vine again.

----------------------------------------------------

Interesting flowers with a distinctive spicy smell. Initially I had one plant but ended up buying another two for cross-poliination. As it is I have hand pollinated 80% of the crop!

In 2011 I lost one vine after I had trowelled lightly near it's base to remove some weeds. I don't know if I was unlucky or they have a habit of dying like that.

Can't wait for the fruit to ripen - some are a generous size - bigger than standard passionfruit. As for the flavour; stay tuned!

Puchased it last year from Daleys after trying it in Hawaii. Beautiful sweet flavour, hopefully mine will be as good! It's really taken off in the last week or so and has clambered all over the place, fruit in the first year would be great but, I'm just glad it's healthy :-)

I am growing this mainly for the spicy scented utterly gorgeous flowers. Benefit from cross pollination. I haven't set a trellis up for it yet but may grow it over my shade house.
