Passion Fruit cultivar Frederick
We've had night-time lows in the mid-30's F (2C) but as you can see below my Frederick vine could care less -- it is growing and fruit is ripening. In fact, I need to prune it!

Re: Passion Fruit cultivar Frederick
I didn't realize it could take temps that low and still have fruit.

Re: Passion Fruit cultivar Frederick
My wife refers to Frederick as "the little shop of horrors plant". In the summer when the temperatures here are in the high 80's (32 C), the vines grow about 3/4 meter per week.

Re: Passion Fruit cultivar Frederick
Here's the progress on my Frederick passion vine. From the corner, it spans about 16 feet along the top and bottom rails. Also, I'm training verticals up from the bottom rail vine about 4 rungs apart.
