passiflora laurifolia "jamaican lilikoi" pollination?

Lilme85 · 08-09-2021, 09:48 PM

I just sprouted a few seedlings of jamaican lilikoi i picked up from some fruit while in maui. Ove been trying to research it and have found very little, and conflicting info. Does anybody know if it is self fertile or if and what it needs to he pollinated by.

I also have a frederick, panama red, sweet sunrise, and possum purple. And just got a ruby glow cutting today. Hopefully one of these can do it if it cant do itself.

I can see how this can be confusing.

Here is a link to a forum thread which you might get a few takeaways.

Thanks for the link to the passiflora thread, i will definitely check that out. The other 2 were for edulis/flavicarpa.. im struggling to find much on laurifolia which is different and unfortunately not on any of the pollination charts ive seen. Ive seen some people say it can pollinate itself and some say need cross pollination. I guess best bet is just keep to seedlings to be safe so they will be genetically different for cross pollination

This could help.

Check out this youtube video @45 seconds.
Read the comments and replys also.....some good takeaways.

Here is another link ....read the polination part towards the bottom of the spec sheet.
