Passiflora

[Willow87]

I've never tasted any type of passion fruit before, only in fruit juice. The one I have is called Granadilla, that's probably the general name for Edulis? I dont know the variety, so maybe I will have to wait until it flowers

[Jananas Bananas]

I have two more blossoms this morning:

Willow what happened with your other Passion vines.

[Willow87]

Which ones Tony? My Edulis have 3 leaves on them but they havent grown much. The one in the picture and the one to the left are the seeds that you gave me. I threw the soil from the ones that didnt sprout in my garden so I may have random passion vines everywhere if they happen to sprout lol

Last year you dug some plants. I think one was Incarnata and maybe Incense ?

[Willow87]

Oh, you had to remind me LOL. Both perished during winter. The maypops produced new growth and then died shortly after. When I pulled them up they didnt have roots, so I dont know how there was new growth. The Incense kept losing leaves even in front of a sunny window and my dog kept tearing it, so I moved it outside in my shed during winter and it died. I was so upset about it, but at least I have the Blue Crown and the Edulis that are doing well

I may look for some later. the person who gave them to me got the Incense from Lowes but I havent seen them at the 2 local stores. Maybe next year they will have some.The maypops were found along a freeway in Dallas but I cant remember where.

[Willow87]

I also forgot to say beautiful flower. That's Incense right?

[sunfish]

Yes that's incense,huge flower. Incarnata seed germinate easily

[Willow87]

Well since you said that, I may look for seeds instead of finding a plant. That would be less expensive and its fun growing plants from seed

OK, you passion flower 'experts', here are some photos of an unknown vine growing near my garden plot. The size is quite small with the blooms hardly the size of a dime, and the fruit smaller than a large pea. I've got another one behind my house that is roughly double the size of this one in the blooms and fruit. That one also has more color, but it is not currently blooming yet.

This is one of the vines

Or Passiflora lutea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora_lutea)

I looked up the P. lutea, and P. suberosa. It looks just like the P. suberosa, however it doesn't say anything about it being in Hawaii. It seems to be an American species so maybe it hitchhiked to Hawaii? I've never noticed the fruit long enough to know if they turn dark as they ripen, but now I'll pay attention and see what happens.

Much thanks!

Now that I've taken some time to look up a few of the many passiflora types, I've noticed some that are particularly interesting. I've got to make sure I don't introduce another 'invasive' species to the island, though. One I'm particularly interested in is already here though so it shouldn't be a problem. Of the types I'm going to attempt to locate/obtain are: P. arborea, P. macrophylla, P. discophora, P. quadrangularis, and P. vitifolia. One cultivar that was noteworthy was named 'Incense', but I don't know if it is a hybrid or species. P. macrophylla may be an issue since I think we may be too warm here for it to grow well. P. quadrangularis is particularly beautiful, especially the dark ones.

Can anyone tell me how much time does it normally take from sprouting seedlings to flowering for Passiflora incarnata? I sprouted some seedlings 3 months ago and they are now about a foot long now with many extraterrestrial-looking green buds (http://twitpic.com/5lk8kp/full) that look like they're about to bloom open. I didn't think it was going to be this fast or even with the plant being still so short. I don't want them to spend all that energy blooming prematurely and kill them.

That's fast.I have had Edulis Sims fruit the firrst year from seed.The plant was only about 3'.You can pinch off all but a few flowers if you like.Go ahead and let it flower it won't kill it.

[JuniPerez]

Thanks... I'll see what happens.

Incarnata seems to be sleeping, slowlyhttp://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/saltydad/Garden/SpringSummer11073.jpg?t=1309847159http://awakens, and then it goes crazy. Every year more and more. I may have to take it out of my garden it's becoming so invasive. Everything in the bed becomes covered with the vines, down a length of fence now over 25 feet long! A shame, as the flowers are so spectacular.

my local home depot had fredericks with flowers and fruit on the vines, I thought it was nice to see them there after seeing them on this thread, I also didnt realize you could get flowers and fruit so quick in a 5 gallon pot, one of them had 4 flowers about to open.

This one has lots of buds that will open soon.6" POT

My passion buds are pretty swollen... but I now noticed something else: there are small clear sap "beads" at the base of each leaf and flower bud. I don't know what it is since it's my first time growing these, but the insects fly on, drink, and leave. If it's nectar, I thought it would be inside the blooms. I touch it and it sort of clings and stretches kind of like astroglide (sorry, I had no other comparison to use!). Does anyone know for sure what it is? Overwatering? Do I worry too much?

I have some from seed that are 6 months old and their not even close to getting buds.You must be doing something right. Are you gonig to hand pollinate them ?

[JuniPerez]

I don't know of anything special I'm doing... soil is the same banana potting mix I used on my potted bananas (1/3 each of peat, compost, and pearlite) and I use a weak dose of miracle grow on them. I did watch youtube demonstrations on pollinating, but feels to me like I'd be molesting them. I bought a brush from the women's beauty section at WalMart to try brushing them. We'll see how that goes.

Hey Howard - that looks like a "Lady Margaret" to me. I bought one last year, and it looked like two small plants. I guess I got overly ambitious and greedy and separated them in the heat of summer and then lost them both. Some day I'm going to get another one and again try to add this red and white beauty to my collection of mostly purple varieties! Ps I think the pics are great - good luck with her!

I haven't got any fruit this year. Last year, by the end of summer, the vines were hanging full of fruit. I had picked up some of the fruits that had fallen and forgotten them on the porch. They fell into the flower beds and now, I have little vines coming up everywhere.

If you get fruit this year and want to trade seed let me know

[BillynJennifer]

Incarnata grows like a weed here. I know of a stretch of railroad tracks that has it growing all alongside. I would be glad to trade seed.

Good. I'll send a P.M. when I'm done shoveling D.G. ad fixing the water heater.

[JuniPerez]

Okay, I'm finding posts that state that P. incarnata needs a different vine near by to pollinate if you want fruit. I was told it's a self pollinator with male and females on the same plant.
Can someone confirm or clarify?

I tried serching for this a couple of weeks ago. Every site had a different answer.I know it's not a matter of having male and female flowers on the same plant,there all complete flowers.What matters is if it's self fertile.Some Passion Vines need an other unrelated vine for cross pollination.

If a vine shares a common root, but grows as an individual vine, will the vines be related? The Incarnata that I have along our back fence, seems to mostly share a common root and it produces viable fruit.

I just serched again to find out if Incarnata is self fertile. It looks like it isn't. If you have other plants in your area they may be getting cross pollinated by bees.I have some passion vines that I have to pollinate with a different variety to get fruit.

[BillynJennifer]

It is a really good possibility, then, that bees are probably visiting other vines and then stopping by mine. They're doing a good job.

[sunfish]

There are two passiflora Ruby Glow in my neighbor ,and I have two I started from cuttings.I have cross pollinated all four plants with every passiflora I have.Still unable to get fruit.But every year I'll find a few fruit on each plant.Some how they are getting pollinated by bees I guess and from what other passion vine ,I don't know.I can't find any information on which passion vine will cross pollinate Ruby Glow.

[BillynJennifer]

With Incarnata being such a hardy plant, could I cross that with something more tropical with an end result of seeds that will form a passion vine with the hardiness of Incarnata but the colors of the tropical plant?

No bloom photos today, but these are my neighbor's Passiflora edulis vines. She planted them about 7 months ago, and they have been growing like weeds. I've seen 3 blooms so I know it is the P. edulis which seems very common around here. The fruit is still bright green, but I think it will be the yellow (var flavicarpa?) when mature. I had no idea these grew so fast.

The fence they are on is 20', and they are reaching for more room.

They are good. You can get them to fruit in a 10 gal. pot.

Passionfruit (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/passionfruit.html)

For fruit and ease of growing I'd pick Edulis Eduils or Incarnata.Both very easy from seed.

I'm no expert but I'm learning a thing or two

Good idea, we have many around here but luckily no fire ants. At our last place they were thick and hard to control because of the vegetation.
Got our first banana sedling the other day and it now has a full leaf and doing good.

Wow, Tony. That rooted cutting is amazing. I thought I was really doing well when I bought a passionfruit (the common type with the pink and purple flower) in a supermarket, and planted the seed, and had ripe fruit in 10 months.

10 months from seed is doing well.

This is a very aggressive variety of passion vine so it roots easy.The weather here has been just right for sprouting seed and rooting cuttings.

Tony, good work. We finally got some buds on our incarnata and I think I will try hand pollinating several and watching the others. When I dug up the rhizone I had not noticed that there was a fruit on the vine so we lost the fruit. What do you fertilize with?

I use what ever fert. I am using on the banana.Nothing special.I am about 99% sure Incarnata is not self fertile.

[oakshadows]

Guess I had better leave it to nature to do the job. Thanks

Guess I had better leave it to nature to do the job. Thanks

An unrelated plant will work . Go ahead and hand pollinate and cross pollinate with any other passion flower you can find.

[oakshadows]

It doesn't have to be another incarnata, if I use another I might not get the same plant. At this time we have 8 plants, all incarnata, but only one with buds. The others should take off shortly. Where I dug these there were no other than incarnata and haven't seen any ones closer than 2 miles. Patience pays.

Yes if you use another plant say Caerulea you will get hybrid seed.Same fruit but different plant from the seed.I x pollinate with five to six different plants.Doing this I've got fruit on most all my plants,a couple I haven't figured out yet

Ante, those are very good looking blooms. Will be looking for the pics of the fruit. The leaves are a darker green than mine, may I ask what are you using for fertilizer. All of our plants get their fertilizer today and we hope to get our first blooms this year from the plants I got off the side of the road. Will post some pics when they bloom.
Thanks

Im not using anything special for fert, they are growing in same soil as my naners and they gets whatever bananas get.

Tony, your photos aren't too shabby. I've been told that most of the time it is the user and not the camera. With me that is very often a fact. I shake a little so I am now using a monopod to help keep things a little more steady. If that doesn't work out comes the tripod. Todays cameras sure make photography easy and great.

Does anyone know if passiflora pollen holds well? Is it mailable? I need to find someone with a compatible pollinator to passiflora incarnata for my vines... all the seeds I've got are apparently from the same parent. : (

There is no real trick to starting Passiflora seed.I use to think there was. Soak in warm water for 24hr.Sow in fast draining mix,only bury seed a 1/4 or so.Keep soil moist ,not wet. Place in warm spot 70f to 75f is fine.

Good info Tony, do you think that one has to wait? That is the only thing I don't like about sprouting seeds is the wait. All of the info we have gained from you has shown up in the seedlings. It did take awhile though. Thanks

Some seed have a hard seed coat and they will take longer to sprout.Soaking the seed for two or more days,higher temps, or nicking may speed up the process.I've had seed of different varieties sprout in 4 days other varieties 4 months. Also if you are buying or getting seed from someone check to see if they float or sink in water.If their floaters their probably no good.

Tony, nice purple fruits. I've only got a few off my Fredericks so far, but there's another hundred or so green ones on the plant. The nice thing about this variety is they fall off when they're ripe, so you don't have Howard's problem!

I believe Incarnata should be picked when there is start to change color, and come loose from the vine with little effort.Even then you may let them ripen for a couple more days off the vine.


The fruits will grow larger than a hen's egg to near tennis ball size, and when they are ripe, they turn a dull yellow-green color. When mature, the passionfruit will develop the characteristic fragrance, and the skin may become puckered or puffy.

A two hour trip takes a lot out of me. However, in the past month I have been catching up. The temps will drop soon and then I will be able to do more. If I could get off of some of the meds then things would be much happier for me but the quacks say that they are needed. Time will tell. We have traveled Florida from east to west and north to south. It is beautiful with what it offers and the rest of the states also have their beautiful features.
