passion vine

13 years ago

I have some beautiful Passion vines on my property. They surround my horse pastures and so far the horses have not touched the vines or fruit. I wonder if they are poisonous for horses, cows etc?

Don't know what types of passiflora you have but you may wish to read the following article.

Passionflowers contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can be toxic to most animals. You might google cyanogenic glycosides and horses to more information regarding toxicity. My understanding is that they are more toxic to ruminants than animals with simple stomachs. Might also ask a veterinarian for his or her opinion.

I have not been on this forum, in particular, for awhile The other day I came across a house that is to be demolished The gardens are all overgrown. I dug up a few things, and whomever had the property had spent a great deal of time in that yard What attracted me was how wildly gorgeous the orange honeysuckle vine has grown.Or coral as you have written I did not bring any of the vine with me. as I wasn't sure if it grows from cuttings or needs root. The bulldozer will be there I was told Monday morning. I will get back over and get some cuttingsbut would like to hear from you as to what is best to do.

Looks like spider mites. Rub your finger along the bottom of the leaf and see if you get anything. Also, this is a forum for trading plants. The regular Florida Gardening forum is best for this kind of post.

Will Passion Vine will kill wisteria

I used to have a trumpet vine and a passion vine growing together, and neither one was the worse for it, but the passion vine created a huge mess when the old leaves died and perhaps got moldy. Anyway, it severely affected my allergies, but I did get about 60 to 80 passion fruit a day in the summer. I bought a Juiceman juicer to extract the passion juice, which I froze and then made into a sorbet, which was very fragrant. For vines, I prefer Solandra maxima AKA Golden Chalice Vine. It is extremely easy to propagate, grow, and control, and I especially like the flowers. I don't think it attracts as many butterflies as the trumpet vine, but then the trumpet vine also makes a big mess from the old dead leaves. I've not grown wisteria. Passion fruit will attract possums and raccoons, if you have them in your area.

Asking a veterinarian or other animal health professional is always sound advice and I agree with it.

As far as toxicity, I can only comment on the effect in humans and not in horses, but Passiflora incarnata has a long and relatively safe herbal use history. As a medicinal herb, passionflower is generally used for its calming effects. I do not know of other passiflora species being used herbally and so would doubt their safety for grazers.
