Passionfruit

More about Passionfruit

Passionfruit are vigorous vines, growing from 6-10 m tall. Grow the vine in full sun, sheltered from cold winds. Passionfruit prefer a fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter, add lime if the pH is below 5.5. Mulching and regular watering are beneficial. Crops are produced from late autumn to early summer, when ripe, the fruit will fall to the ground. Prune in late winter to thin over-vigorous growth. Sow seed in spring and summer when the soil temperature reaches more than 20°C. A strong support is needed for the vine to grow on.
