Basic P. incarnata, but still stunning.

Re: passion flower / fruit

Haha Tony! That Vitifolia can be a monster! We have to keep hacking it back as the vines grow over 60ft long, and end up all over the house next door. Pretty plant though and the hummingbirds love it.

Thanks Sue. They really are. The maypop has about taken over one garden along my fence line, and we keep mowing the shoots that pop up all over the lawn. Be careful what you wish for. LOL

Re: passion flower / fruit

It's a bit hard to understand, but I've got a friend in SoCal who is growing a P. incarta which came from Brazlian seeds but it's not cold hardy and he must grow it in his greenhouse. I've not tasted the fruit but he and others have said it's got a pineapple taste and he said it's known also as a pineapple passionfruit. I haven't done much searching yet, but haven't found anything on it.

Harvey the closest thing I found was.. Passiflora incarnata (Maypop)

Yep I know what you mean!! Back in England I had 13 or 14 varieties growing in containers under glass and that slowed them down some thank goodness. Saw a beautiful specimen of P. Quadrangularis for sale yesterday, but fortunately common sense prevailed and I didn't buy it. Once that got going we would be forced to machete our way out of the house.

(Oops! don't know how that happened!)

Sorry, it was late, I meant P. incarnata. But Maypop is always referred to as a hardy species whereas these Brazilian P. incarnata are not hardy. I'm going to try to get seeds or cuttings from my friend's plant later this year to try it myself.

However, I do have a friend who is grafting a pulusan for me and I'm going to give a shot at that.

What's the name of this cultivar? I'd like to ask my friend if he knows about it.

By the way, I ate some canned mangosteen fruit with dinner tonight and it was very mediocre! I drank some mangosteen soda pop with lunch today, so you can tell I've got mangosteen on my mind! :D

I don't think anybody obtained seeds of this mangosteen variety since Tog had a crop failure and shocked us with his death a short while after this discussion last spring. I've got a friend from Puerto Rico who is touring around Malaysia right now (he's staying tonight in Kuala Lumpur, where Tog lived) and will ask about this variety tomorrow. Maybe he'll find it and be able to bring seeds back to his nursery in PR and one day I'll be able to try the same fruit Tog wrote about. :)

Re: passion flower / fruit

Back onto the subject of passionfruit. I know that Tony has had problems growing P. ligularis but wonder if anyone in a subtropical climate is growing it successfully. My plant is doing better in my greenhouse now that I've starting misting four times a day.

Re: passion flower / fruit

Sorry if this has been asked, but how much sun do these vines like? Mine is only in partial sun. I just bought it and Im not even sure which one I have but I see some buds so I should know soon. Also has anyone overwintered the cold tolerant varieties in the house over the winter with sucess.
Thanks and I just wanted to say that these pics and the flowers in general are really amazing!

Re: passion flower / fruit

Heres my new passion vine (and first). If anyone can ID it I would really appreciate it even though I know it might be a little hard to ID without flowers. And do you think its worth moving into full sun or will it still flower well in some shade. It will get some warm weather for sure!

Re: passion flower / fruit

Thanks for the ID. And really beautiful plant! Sorry but one more question. Do you think I should keep it in a pot or plant it in the ground. I know these can get a little out of control when they are established!
I really appreciate the help! Thanks again!!!

Re: passion flower / fruit

Yup, that's definitely "Caerulea", Palmtree! :goteam:

I grew mine from seed last year in a pot and carried it over to this season and it's growing again like crazy. No flowers or fruits the first year, which I was told was normal for new young seed-grown vines. Hoping to get some this year...

I finally have my first passion flower bloom opening. I believe this is the common Incarnata, but still very beautiful.
