HI, I'm wondering if you've ever eaten the fruit or made juice or tea from your passion flower fruit? I've often heard of it being used like that and wondering what your experience has been. Thx, Xtal

Old thread but curious to know how it went. Yellow passionfruit could be either sweet granadilla (passiflora ligularis) or yellow passion fruit (passiflora edulis var flavicarpa). Around here, sweet granadilla seems more common at grocery stores - I started growing a couple plants from grocery store fruits. I'm also growing purple passionfruit (passiflora edulis), passiflora manicata and passiflora tripartita var azuyensis. Neither of these are frost hardy and require more than a year to fruit, so I'm growing them in containers that I bring indoors for the winter. I also have maypop (passiflora incarnata) and bluecrown (passiflora caerulea) which are a bit more cold hardy (if you plant in-ground, the vines will die back in the winter, but the roots can survive and put out new shoots in late spring/early summer), but I decided I'll grow those in containers that I bring inside too. I have gotten fruit from my maypop already. So far, they seem to be enjoying their first winter indoors and have gotten quite large. Hopefully they can hit the ground running and produce fruit next year. It seems plants grown from cuttings will produce fruit within 1-2 years, plants grown from seed will produce fruit within 2-3 years.

i had two, but one died. one was grown from a seed, one was from a cutting. their leaves look identical. i think that they are Purple passion fruit. i wonder if they are the other types of passion fruit plants that have the identical shape of leaves? thanks.

I am trying to build a collection of various species and cultivars within Passiflora. Interested in seeds of cuttings. Edible fruited types preferred over sterile crosses or inedible species. I have more space for growing cold hearty types than for tropical types. Also interested in vanilla orchid cuttings and wild low bush blueberry seeds from Maine and Alaska. I have for trade a large collection of culinary herbs and garden vegetables, let me know what you are looking for and I’ll let you know what I have that matches you wants list.
