Jantina says... I, Jantina's husband ,Geoff, have just germinated a heap of passionfruit seeds. I planted the fresh seeds straight into potting mix and they were up in a few weeks( kept warm in our solar growing room). They are just black passionfruit from a grafted Nelly Kelly rootstock. I am keen to avoid the Nelly Kelly, as it takes over after the top graft gets frosted off. I have also bought similarly grown plants from our local market which are growing extremely well but are not yet at the fruiting stage. Hope this helps. | About the Author Jantina Mt.

ringelstrumpf says... Our neighbour has a Passionfruit Nelly Kelly and apparently the graft has died or maybe it cannot be found but it suckers and you find the suckers 100 m away from the plant. I had a passionfruit from seed which was much better behaved, but you have to cut back each year if not it looks awful. | About the Author ringelstrumpf1 Blue Mountains 20th May 2010 10:31am #UserID: 3535 Posts: 148 View All ringelstrumpf1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Ken says... Hi Laisla, I have found the best way is to let the seed dry out naturally in the fruit itself. When its all wrinkled and dry just take out the seed and plant in a good potting mix and cover finely with seed raising mix. They will take 2/3 weeks to germinate up here at this time of the year. As a matter of fact I have heaps of plants up at the moment just 20 mm high - taken from a lovely black passionfruit. I get up to Cairns each fortnight - if you would like some just let me know ............
