Vitifolia

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.

I have most of mine in containers,learned my lesson with Cerulea. I've got so many things growing I have to crawl to get to some of them.

Saltydad,
Basic or not, THAT is gorgeous!!!! I'd take one of those anyday!! Just beautiful! The rest are beautiful too!!

saltydad

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

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.

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.
