Are passion fruits supposed to be wild or cultivated?
Comments (6)The flowers are just so pretty. I wish any of my cultivate flowers are as healthy as those native maypop's. They look very invasive though. They are everywhere in neighbor's yard. I wish I could grow them in my yard just to look at the flowers, but they might just pop up everywhere and choke my other flowers. Anyway, I tried tropical passionfruit. It was very aromatic. I think that it looked black when it's ready to be eaten. How about maypop? I am curious to try tasting it. Do I pick it when it turns black, or it does not turn black at all...See MoreAre Maypops Toxic?
Comments (3)All passiflora generate cyanide as a natural defense against being eaten. This includes unripe fruit. Once the fruit is fully ripe--ie it drops from the vine--the cyanide is gone and the pulp is safe to eat. Maypops have been a food source for Native Americans for tens of thousands of years, after all. Avoid eating the rind, leaves and stems and you will be fine....See MoreWanted partially ripe maypop fruit for eating
Comments (1)Sorry, I can't help you, but may I ask why "maypop" and not an edulis(edible purple or yellow type)?...See MoreGossypiifolia fruit
Comments (1)Congrats on getting a tasty fruit before the birds got to it! I'm new to this forum and would like to try growing passies for the first time--preferably a variety that tastes good. Would you consider trading a few of those passie seeds for my pink PLUMERIA seeds? If interested please email me at kvansanford@hotmail.com. Thanks for considering, kvflyr...See Moremauch1
