My Edible Fruit Trees: Passionfruit Vines ACT

Passionfruit - Sweet Granadilla (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: -

Passionfruit is my family's favourite and when I read that this was the best tasting pf, I had to give it a try. I thought it might be a long shot given the Canberra frosts, but planted it on a north facing wall.

So far so good. It has survived frosts quite well so far. I sometimes remembered to cover it this winter. When I didn't some of the leaves would get brown marks, but not actually die. It's more frost tolerant than the tamarillo on the same wall. And this spring it has taken off.

The photo was taken in August, so you can see there's not much frost damage.

Not hint of flowers/fruit yet, but I'm willing to wait.

I let the hose drip on it for an hour every now and then through the warmer months. I've lost black pasionfruit in the same spot in previous years and htink it might have been from lack of water.
