Looks the same, so pretty! Does it make edible fruit?

Re: Passiflora

Yes they are edible. Never tried one

The fruit is quite sour still when it falls off the plant and can take a month to ripen to its full flavor of sour strawberries

Re: Passiflora

Oh my gawd Tony...totally awesome peeks! :goteam:

Ok, here's what I want to know...

I grew "Incense" from seed this past Spring and it grew fairly nicely along the fence in my garden but no flowers this year. This is not uncommon for seed-grown passiflora vines however...

Do you think the roots will survive my zone (5b) and return next year as a perennial? It's all just an experiment but I wondered if you might know for sure, Tony?

Thank you for your terrific shots and please keep them coming...

Re: Passiflora

Ok, we get much colder than that but we also have a lot of snow coverage so it may help to keep the roots warmer than usual. I also buried the vine extra deep, in a sheltered area, to give it a good shot at returning.

Guess we'll see...

Re: Passiflora

What do you plan to do to control all those unruly vines? Where I used to work there was a Frederick's that was about 50 feet long each way and the base turned into a hard tree like trunk about 6 inches thick. We had to constantly trim it.

Yes a monster indeed! A very old and well fed monster that made buckets of fruit. I used to take some of the fruit from our side of the fence to a Brazilian restaurant and trade them for free dinners.

This was from seed two years ago. No water or fertilizer for the last year and it's still growing.

I'm to lazy to soak them,I use to.I haven't seen any difference in germination between soaked or ones I've planted direct. Soaking may speed up germination and it may help with older seed but I'm not convinced it makes a difference.

Re: Passiflora

Ok, thats good to know that you havent noticed a difference. I keep reading info about people who soak them in orange juice or vinegar and there are just so many ways
