The last time I used passion fruit it was a very dark color and slightly wrinkled. You cut it open and scoop out the insides, there won't be much. The juice and seeds are edible and very tasty. :)

well ijust bought this house last year so I had no clue there was even a passion fruit in my yard let alone 20 or more. I was unprepared for numerous vines. no trellis this year but def there will be one next year

now they are just sprawled all over the backyard. some are like 8 ft long vines crawling on the ground. there were like 6 growing under the porch so i bunched them together and I attached them to the supports of the porch and now they are growing across my deck, my 10ft wide deck, and covered in new flowers. so I guess its easy to say they are late producers.

my mom never had not one passion fruit in her yard but hugo came in 89 and her fences were covered with them within 2 years. this was before google or bing so they all got ripped out. we had no clue they were edible.

It's amazing what hurricanes/floods will bring. After the Katrina flooding, in New Orleans we started seeing all sorts of things in the garden that we know we had never planted. Sunflowers were everywhere. Also a lot of rain lilies & naked ladies. And amaryllis was everywhere. Luckily (??!!), we were so busy repairing houses that we didn't have time for the gardens. When the pace slowed down some, I realized we had some real beauties that I saved.
