Passionfruit Non Grafted

Passionfruit Non Grafted

A fast growing evergreen climbing vine, Black Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) makes an ideal choice to quickly cover a trellis or to hide an unsightly back fence. Producing black fruit from Summer to Autumn, the small to medium sized, round fruit have a tangy, tart pulp inside, and are sweeter if left on the vine to fully ripen and become wrinkled.

Recommended for gardens with coarse or sandy soils, non grafted Passionfruit are less likely to sucker and spread as the Grafted varieties can do if they are stressed or in difficult ground. Non Grafted Passionfruit are more suited to warmer climates and definitely need a frost free position to grow to their best. Plant in a sunny, well-drained position, preferably where the vine is protected from the wind as this can impede pollination and fruit set. Fertilising will also assist with fruit and flower production, grab a bag of Fruit n Citrus to help.
