Have blue passion flower and purple edible passion fruit
Comments (3)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...See MorePassion Fruit in North Texas
Comments (10)Hi - I have several, 1 - incense, 2 no i.d. and a red one called miniata. All, are doing fine. The 2 no i.d. are new and have not bloomed for me yet. My incense, always has blooms and babies that sprout up to 3 feet away from it. So plant away, you never know what will sprout!!:)) Good luck, Mistee Pic. of my incense http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/Tina_2/Ethans6th5.jpg" target="_blank">...See MorePassion fruit not fruiting. Green bumps on buds. Black ants.
Comments (6)EDIT: I finally found an answer to my own question. Apparently, these bumps are called extrafloral nectaries, which secrete sweet nectar outside of the flower to attract pollinators. Ants are commonly attracted to these bumps, which can also appear on the outside of buds. The presence of ants, as annoying as they are, can help the plant by keeping pests and fungi away. So, don’t stress about the ants unless they are farming and milking aphids; the flower drop is probably unrelated and due to nitrogen in fertilizer, which promotes leaf and vine growth but inhibits fruit production. “Did anyone ever find an answer for this? My passion fruit vines show the same bumps on buds and stem of leaves, black ants attracted to the bumps, and flower drop, even when hand-pollinating.”...See MorePassion fruit vine produces smaller than normal fruit.
Comments (1)It's pretty amazing that you got fruit from it at all.. I tried a few different varieties and only 1 ever grew fruit for me and they were normal size, but only 2 fruits total have grown from it in about 4 years. The variety I grew didn't have young fuzzy fruits, they were always smooth....See Moresajeew1
