Passiflora edulis

So, so sad. The #Passiflora edulis seems to have died. 😒 #purplepassionvine It was doing great with fruit and new growth. Do not know if our brutal heatwave killed it or what did it in. Sad. #passiflora-edulis #purplepassionplant #vine #trellis #southerncalifornia 16 September 2022

Oh no, so sorry 😢💜💜

Oh no! That’s such a shame! Is the root possibly still alive so it might return next year?

I find when a plant dies fast, it’s usually from disease. 🌞

Thank you all for your sympathy. I am going to lett it stay for a while, Katy, in hopes. @sunlovin, I am sure you are correct. @midnightgardener @gjones

The trimmed #passionfruit is coming back. I will make sure to pull it forward to guide it to grow in my garden. #passiflora-edulis #trellis-bedframe #trellis #after the trim #southerncalifornia 1 March 2022

Love! #reuse #repurpose #recycle #wastenotwantnot

You really cut it back!

Thank you @KariSamuel !

Yes, I decided to 🎶"start at the beginning. A very good place to start."🎶. There was a bunch of dread leaves and branches and it had encompassed my citron, kumquat, two bougainvilleas and a Brugmansia on my side. 🤯 Huge! The main vines (1" thick) are producing leaves again. @lesliecole49

Doe a deer.... they grow wild here but I've never seen one this big, very cool and I probly would try the same thing. Not that that would work for me!

They would work for you. We have non edible varieties growing wild here. The monarchs 🦋 love those. @lesliecole49

The grasshoppers decimate them as fast as I can kill them! I haven't tried them for a few years. 🤔

Grasshoppers 🦗 😡 @lesliecole49

Yes

This is the mess I "gave"my neighbor. My #passionvine grew over to his side, covering his avocado tree, then trying to cover his 🌴 and Sycamore tree creating an "awning"of sorts. He said he liked the shade, but not the nightly opossums and rats to eat the fruit he does not like. 😳. Well, he understood my reasoning for it growing unstopped, but finely had his gardener chop and remove it. Great apologies were given. It did look nice on my side. 😉 #southerncalifornia 1 March 2022

Oh no! My stepdad says if you want to kill a tree, use a passionfruit vine!

😂 It was well on the way to takeover and kill for sure, but that avocado produces garbage fruit, so it would probably be a blessing. 😉🤭🤫 @novicegardenlover

Wow I had no idea they'd grow this big!

Holy passion fruit! Is this on your side or his? I have wild honeysuckle here that does this. It's pretty much impossible for me to control

They can just keep getting larger Katie. @gjones 🤯❣️

😂 Leslie, the part you see in his tree is probably only a third of what was on his side. 😳 It had another third on my side and it had gone over the fence to his backyard neighbor! 🤯 Very healthy. I plan to train it and am hoping it is not impossible. @lesliecole49

The #texture on these dried #passionfruit s is so interesting to me. These are a few missed by the opossums and rats. #passiflora-edulis #growyourown #dehydrated #southerncalifornia 1 March 2022

The new season of #fruit has begun. #purplepassionvine #purplepassionflower #purplepassionplant #passiflora #edible #passiflora-edulis #southerncalifornia 9 July 2021

Wow🤗

The flowers are amazing😍

Thank you 💗💗💗 @juliesgarden @godfreye @cowdenkyle

Love it!

Today's #passionfruit #harvest. 😍😋 #Passiflora edulis #purplepassionfruit #southerncalifornia 1 October 2020

You got quite a few! Do you eat them fresh or make something with them?

Wow

They must be delicious

Thank you all! They are delicious. We have talked about using them in a jam, but they have not lasted that long. 😋 We just enjoy opening and scooping out their goodness. 💓 @jewelry @gjones @thehardygardener @dirtgirlworld @mardel @cyndi

😂 Not yet Cyndi. We are too busy eating them. I will though. I do not have really hard frosts here, except once in a long while we get a heavy but short lived one. I will cut the plant back and prep it before this, so it should continue to grow. 🤞 💕 @cyndi

Ooooh nice 😋💜💜

Found myself "egg" hunting this morning for delicious passion fruit 😋. They sure are pretty and taste wonderful! #purple #passionfruit #gyo #fruit #southerncalifornia 13 September 2020 🥚😷🌱👑

I bet that tastes wonderful! You're lucky to be able to grow them in your yard!

😋😋💘😍

Yum!

Thank you, @gjones - yes, I am blessed to enjoy them from my garden. @gjones

Beautiful! Does it taste as good as it looks??

It's sort of like a pomegranate inside!

I only tried this fruit once...unforgettable

Check out the first one Carrie. @winston30piggy

Yes, Kari, or so my son said. They are very tropical in flavor. 💗 @KariSamuel

Katy, it is seeded like a pomegranate, but jelly like. 😁👏👏💗@gjones

Maribelle, it is! Yummy for sure. 😁💞 @mardel

Love them! Lost our vine due to the extension upheaval... but I’ve another one on the go now.

Katy, me too. Did you grow your new one from seed? I wondered if that can be done and how long to fruit? @brightcolours

It was self sown!! But I have grown from seed. All I did was squish a very ripe passionfruit into the ground, cover with soil + water in. Have done it in a pot + in the garden.

Oh, good to know Katy! 👏👏👏 💞 @brightcolours

I am lovin' the look of these Purple Passion flowers. #purplepassionflower #passiflora-edulis #vine #southerncalifornia #bestofjune 29 June 2020

Amazing!💘😍

This is the prettiest I’ve seen! 🤩🥰

Amazing 😍😍😍

💜💜💜

Impressive 💜💛💜

Thank you all! @ShelleySnyder @moonflower @RedFuchsia @juliesgarden @suerichards 💗

@lovestogarden my pleasure Janice!💘😍

Her #firstfruitever is forming! The vine is huge. #anticipation 😋 #passiflora-edulis #purplepassionvine #purplepassionplant #purplepassion #purplepassionflower #collage #southerncalifornia 24 June 2020 😎😷💜

Awsome Kathy!

That's great! Are more fruits forming?

Oh wow! Looks fabulous! And so delicious! I had to cut mine down after last year’s crop- was 7 years old and deteriorating each year- need to replace it- will miss my fruit in summer!

It's so pretty

I'm getting excited to be able to eat them. Yes, Katie, lots more. 👏👏👏 @gjones

Thank you @Susanandsteve @cyndi @kaporyash

@s1066 that was a nice long enjoyment of your vine. I am looking forward to enjoy mine. 👏👏💗

That’s awesome 😍

I agree, Carrie. They are still green. 😋 @winston30piggy

How are the fruit doing?

My son just picked and enjoyed the very first one, Carrie! I will send the newest 📷. 😁👏👏 @winston30piggy

...and she has her first flower! 😁 #passiflora #passionfruit #vine #passiflora-edulis #frederick #firstflower #southerncalifornia #gyo 18 July 2019

Label says- Passiflora edulis 'Frederick' Gian Passion fruit, the largest variety. Purple-black fruit (3-4") across with fragrant, delicious pulp. Skin wrinkles when ripe. Fast #evergreen vine. Full 🌞, average watering, protect from hard freeze. Zones 8a-10a

Oh my that's gorgeous Janice! 💘😍

Wow

Thank you! I agree. @ShelleySnyder

Absolutely beautiful 💜💜

Stunning💜

Beautiful flower 😊🌸🌸💜💜

Oh wow! That’s beautiful 💟

Welcome Janice!💘😍

Thank you! @belindah @scaryskates @Keely @carolgs @pauline33 @kez001uk

Fabulously frilly 😃👍

With a newly painted #bedstead empty and the plants moved around in this corner, I took the opportunity to get a #passiflora edulis 'frederick'. I LOVE #passionfruit so it seemed logical. #vine #passiflora-edulis #frederick #southerncalifornia #gyo 18 July 2019

Very pretty, Janice

Love that !!

That's crazy cool Janice!💘😍

Thank you! @lesliecole49 @ladeebug @ShelleySnyder
