Passionfruit - Panama Red Pandora (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

Lots of lovely juicy fruit
Shrekkie usually finds them before I do tho.
We have found passionfruit seedlings around the yard, presumably from fruit the turkeys have eaten.  They are not the wild passionfruit weed.  Hope we get some fruit from them soon too.

raspberries (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

Native Raspberry. 

It was named in 1923, strangely enough, from Puerto Rico, where it is naturalised. Apparently, seeds were sent to the USA in the early part of this century and then distributed. It obviously thrived in Puerto Rico. R.probus was previously known by the name of R.fraxinifolius, but that species, occurs only in south-east Asia and Indonesia.

This plant is amazing.  We found it when we cleared out the lantana and discovered it is a native of this area.
The fruit are BIG and very tasty.  It has a long season and heaps of fruit.
