passion flower / fruit - Page 5

island cassie · 05-10-2009, 07:57 PM

Bete, Tony and Beth - here I have P Vitifolia which is a gorgeous red and has taken over all the neighbour's gardens as it grows 60ft in length. The seeds I bought from Jungle Seeds weren't very fresh as only 1 germinated, but that 1 plant has colonized the neighbourhood. Each year we hack it back to about 10 ft and although it staggers a bit, it comes back - a gorgeous monster! It rarely sets seed but I have a seed pod on it now - see my gallery!

Is the vitifolia edible, Cassie? They look like little watermelons!

This is Taxo, from P. mixto, which I mentioned on the last page.

I have a vitifolia and tripartita mollisima ,banana tacso.

lorax · 05-10-2009, 11:41 PM

Tacso = Taxo. Try it with milk products, it really helps the flavour. BTW, "Taxo" is the generic Spanish catchall term for the banana passionfruits.

Really starting to go Passi-CRAZY!! I only have 2 p. caerulea vines...one is really little.
They were volunteers, I am hoping that they fruit - but the Gulf Frit are visiting them, so maybe not...
I cannot find any fresh fruits locally to start trying to germinate.
I bought a pack of & am trying to germinate some p. incarnata.
I did the 24 hr soak & some in the Orange juice soak & I have read that it still can take a while to pop.

I bought a Scarlet Passiflora vine on a trellis 2 weeks ago & have all kinds of new growth. No flowers though.

Am looking for other Passi plants to run along my SW fenceline, the different varieties produce such diverse & beautiful flowers!!!

Love the pics everyone!!!

Here's my seed grown Caerulea passiflora vine from last season that I grew in a container up a trellis...

I pruned it back in Fall and protected it over winter - it's now growing again this season. I will have flowers and fruits for the first time this year.
