Farouk starts with ... Hello All, I have purchased some Red Passiflora Foetida seeds & wondering if anyone has any experience with this variety of Passionfruit ? I am wondering if the skin is edible & also if you can describe the taste a little ? Any growing instructions/seed germination tips would be a great help . Thank you Regards, Farouk

phil@tyalgum says... I have the yellow/orange variety naturalising itself here, and if you soak the seed overnight prior to sowing you should get some to germinate, however spring is probably the most ideal time to get them started. I like the flavour, reminds me more of a complex banana rather than a passionfruit, however the skin is quite tough and they are best squeezed and emptied into the mouth while you're gardening - even here in the subtopics they died off over winter. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 23rd February 2017 5:43pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

Farouk says... Hello Phil, how are you doing, hows spring over in Murwillumbah ? I have the same plant that sprouted in Feb 2017 this year & it survived the winter I had it in a tiny side yard in a small pot on top of concreted floor & surrounded with colourbond fencing, I wonder if it was protected by this from major frost ? I planted it near the fence now in spring so it can climb it & meet with its other friends the Panama Gold & Banana Passion fruit, it's taken off & got mature larger leaves now, it's putting on beautiful healthy growth. | About the Author Farouk FAIRFIELD EAST,2165,NSW 7th November 2017 3:00pm #UserID: 8110 Posts: 206 View All Farouk's Edible Fruit Trees |

Farouk says... Hello my friend, plenty of flowers now but they just develop open & drop no fruit set yet. Still a small vine with many flowers. Sure would be happy to let you know as soon as I get some fruit, soon I hope! I'll post a photo for the history books soon. For now this is what it looked like 18/2/2017

Farouk says... Hi Phil, Hope you are well & had a fruitful growing season. Could you please explain what you meant by them being prolific in their second season ? Also I still haven't had a single fruit no pollination at all, very prolific in pushing out tons of flowers but not a single fruit, do I need 2 vines for pollination ? I've only got the one. | About the Author Farouk CABRAMATTA,2166,NSW 22nd February 2018 3:14pm #UserID: 8110 Posts: 206 View All Farouk's Edible Fruit Trees |
