What a marvelous idea Bev, that would certainly help to keep the tanks cool.
Love them I used to make the best Pav with bananas, and passionfruit loaded down with cream.
My only son would help me take out all the seeds, he hated them but not the rest.
A healthy looking vine with plenty of fruit I bet you enjoy them...Cheers..MM.

Frederick edulis will probably be your best choice. my four year old vine gave me at least 250 fruits this year and still producing. They are difficult to see. But there are 10 or so in this pic.

Are fresh passionfruit seeds true to parent?
Q
Comments (8)
It isn't a question of freshness but the name of the variety, if it is a hybrid or an open-pollinated variety, that determines if it will grow true or not. Florida passion fruit, purple is not a varietal name. Without that info there is no way to know so all you can do is try to grow it and see what happens. There are at least 3 hybrid varieties that are purple that I know of and they will not breed true. And the seeds need to be really mature, well aged in the fruit, before harvesting them. Unfortunately many are picked before they are fully ripe so they can be shipped to stores. In that case the seeds are immature and may not germinate. Passion Fruit vines are normally grown from cuttings rather than seed but it is possible to do and it can be a fun experiment. The seeds need to be washed well and then dried for several days before planting. Dave

Passionfruit blooming too late in the season (Zone 5B, Chicago)
Q

I grew a pair of passionfruit vines (Passiflora edulis) from seed and set them out this spring. They quickly covered a trellis but didn't bloom. I was debating cutting them back and bringing them indoors for winter, but now I see flower buds developing at the very tip of the vines. Our first frost will be in a few weeks, maybe sooner. Should I (1) disentangle the whole vine from the trellis and bring it in, or (2) cut the vine back, bring it in and hope it blooms again? The second option will save much-needed indoor space. Thanks for any help!

Healthy looking vine. Keep you going in fruit for a while. I was training my vine on the chook pen fence but it was neglected for a few weeks and escaped up a tree. Now if frightens the chooks when it rains passionfruit.

MM, taking out the seeds? That would take ages.

Well it did actually, but he refused to eat those big Ants as he called them.
Yes I would not mind a huge slice of that again but sadly what I eat today I wear tomorrow.
So I have given up all the good thing of life ecxept chocolate, that I cant.
Cheers..MM.
