5 Tips How To Grow a Ton of Passionfruit From ONE Passion Fruit!

[@misssootyhunt]

I have never commented on a youtube video in my life, sir... but watching you joyfully trundle through your garden with a passion fruit and speaking passionately about your vines has made everything in 2020 okay again. You should be voted president of our new pandemic-struck world.

Don't forget, you can freeze the pulp for use during the off season and to flavour drinks and sweets. Just scrape out the pulp and freeze in ice cube trays, then store in zip lock in your freezer until needed.

[@sylviescopazzo2445]

I let mine grow wild, and OMG, they have taken over, but I love it! I did not fertilize at all, and my vines have TONS of fruit! I also just learned you can tea with the leaves!

[@christina2466w]

Passion tea.... All I do is clean the whole entire flower by soaking it in cold water for 10 minutes to get rid of any bugs. Fill your cup with boiling water. Place your whole flower in your cup of hot water. Sweeten with honey & stevia, enjoy. Expect to relax with this medicinal plant. You can also use the leaves in tea.

[@shenchen5886]

As in using tea as fertiliser?

I had to give your video a thumbs up as you were walking towards us with that huge bowl of passion fruit and a smile! Thank you!

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

Our plant was probably about 15 years old, it grew up the one tree that is close 3 stories high.it seemed to produce fruit all year( purple type) and produced so much we would give bags of them away every other week... we loved giving to the zoo.

[@josephfinds]

Thanks for being my friend. I’ve been garden g veraciously now for 4 months. It’s changed my life.

[@DiBaozi]

I’ve got 4 passion fruits for my husband and told him how expensive they are when he said I wonder if we can grow them from the seeds. I laughed but he looked on KZbin and found your video. I stopped laughing and got excited because I’m a subscriber and love your videos. We live in Texas and will give it a try at grow around our trellised fence

[@ehonda2718]

I grew a passion fruit vine this year in a 300mm pot in Brisbane. All I fed it was a salmon head in the bottom of the pot, and worm pee every month or so. I’ve never had a bigger yield.

[@majorgeneralmalaise]

Here in Texas we grow passiflora incarnata which is native to our region! You can also brew the leaves as a calming tea. They also host native butterflies here! The flowers smell divine and pollinators love them too. I've just got a small trellis now but I will be building it out and maybe even over our shed to let it go crazy. You can propagate by cutting, layering, or root division!

[@PrincessNicole14an]

I had always problems with passion fruits. Thanks ❤️ for the important tips. There’s always something to learn from your videos. (Small update : We use tender passion fruit leaves as salad. Those are good for reduce blood pressure levels. We mix small chunks of leaves with scraped coconut, green chilies & onion. Mix altogether & heat 1-2 minutes. Or else just mix & eat.)

[@lb6805]

In South Africa I've only ever seen the purple passion fruit (we call them granadilla). We usually leave them to shrivel-not dry out (off the vine) this let's them sweeten. In the shops the shriveled are also cheaper off the scale, as they have less water in them.

[@lilmisspeace]

I'm in an area where it frosts in winter and I put 2 passionfruit vines in. The purple variety has lasted through a winter and is out of control this year!! The root stock keeps shooting through my lawn and has even fruited!! The grafted in purple passionfruit shoot is so crazy that it has engulfed the entire fence and has so much fruit that I think the fence is going to collapse and I won't be able to give away enough of the fruit!! For a few dollars, this was a great choice and investment 🤩

[@eric_andrews]

I live in Colombia and the purple passion fruit here is called Gulupa, and they usually grow it in cold climates around 2000-3000 meters which vary between maybe 10-20 degrees celcius (so makes sense that grows better where you are), whereas the yellow passion fruit (different than yours, bigger), is more like 1000-1500 meters, warmer climates, probably like 20-30. We also have a cousin of the passionfruit that is orange called a granadilla that you crack open like an egg and its extremely sweet. That's my favorite by far!! Grows in colder climates as well, worth seeing if you can find in australia, cheers!

[@lb6805]

How interesting- we call the purple ones, granadilla in South Africa.

[@Canny-Octopus]

Passiflora ligularis, commonly known as the sweet granadilla or grenadia, is a plant species in the genus Passiflora. It is known as granadilla in Bolivia, Colombia, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, The Azores, South Africa and Peru; granadilla común in Guatemala; granadilla de China or parcha dulce in Venezuela and granaditta in Jamaica.

Thank you so much for all your videos and you are a great inspiration. We used to live in Suriname, south America, but we live in the Netherlands at the moment. We are building a new house in Suriname now, but it is not finished yet, but will be this year and I'm looking forward to move back and start gardening again. In our previous garden the passion fruit was one of the most productive plants, beside our mango trees. It ate all of our kitchen waste and turned it into fruit every day, year round. My morning retual was to pick up some passion fruits and mango's to put into the yoghurt and dump the kitchen waste into the bed. The bed for the passion fruit was 2m x 40cm x 40cm and I put a 2m high wooden frame behind it. It doesn't need much. The few passion fruit seeds from the kitchen waste maintained the cycle. I just cut the old ones at the base from time to time so the new plants could take over. Spiky gherkins sometimes sprung up in the same bed as well. :)

[@IAmTheOnlyMrDaryl]

One of the most beautiful flowers out there! They look out of this world.

[@notmyworld44]

I live in Arkansas, USA, and we have a native passionfruit here called passiflora incarnata that is delicious, but most of the natives don't know it. The fruits are about the size of a hen's egg and the leaves are palmately 3-lobed. They grow and produce abundantly on fences and in neglected fields. Well into autumn they turn from light green to a wrinkled yellow, and at that time they ripe and ready. The taste is sweet with an odd musky odor. It's an acquired taste. I really like this gentleman's videos.

[@lisakukla459]

Thanks for doing this. I've never had a passion fruit before, but a few months ago, right after I moved, I found a smushy old one while I walked my dog. The inside smelled heavenly!! I saved the seeds and I'm so eager to plant them. I'm also keeping an eye on the fence near where I found it, because I'll bet it's just growing on its own. I'm in Oklahoma where the trees are still bare, so I can't tell yet. But now I feel much better prepared to grow this new and exciting addition! Thanks!

[@peterswatton7400]

An old lady told me to take a dump in the bottom of the hole when planting passion fruit, which sounds about right considering how the seed spreads naturally. A bit grim if you have 4 acres to do. More seriously, watch out for slugs and snails ring barking the bottom of the vine in wet weather. Nice video!

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Our 4 passionfruit plants are doing well here in Rotorua, New Zealand. The first plant we got a year ago has flowers and 5 fruits which are about plum size. As you say, in winters they die down a bit - and we have frosty winters here, summers are blazing hot. I built a trellis of two wooden posts 2 metres apart with bamboo across, but I will build it over as an arch as you have shown. From youtube I have learnt that passionfruit loves company, so I have paired them on each trellis. Looking to growing more plants in another part of the garden next year. Its a delicious fruit with a nice perfume.

[@TopsyDora147]

About 2 years ago my cousin's wife made passion fruit juice from her garden in Puerto Rico and introduced me to this amazing fruit. Ever since then I've been passionate about passion fruit. Would love to grow it here in New York State. Need a greenhouse. Lol Thank you for your videos, love them!

[@KiwiCatherineJemma]

Yes in NY State you will definitely need a greenhouse (that stays above freezing 0*Celsius) , or grow them in some kind of conservatory/sun-room, heated enclosed porch, or inside your house by a large Sunny South Facing window in a large pot inside your house. I have gotten passionfruits growing just by taking a spoonful of fresh seed still in the pulp, and spread it thinly over normal potting mix in a plant pot, cover thinly with more potting mix and put in the sun to sprout. The varieties this guy is growing are the subtropical and tropical varieties and they're the fruits most commonly found for sale at shops. Note that several types called "Banana Passionfruit" which can be coloured yellow or creamy off white, and are NOT round but longer and thinner, are it seems more tolerant of cold conditions. (pictured briefly about 1m40s in the video) The cold tolerant ones are considered a weed by some in government here, because some may escape into the wild and grow in areas of native bush. So if you in New York State and have an unheated or not much heated greenhouse which still experiences some frosts, but NOT sustained below 0*C ( 32*F) then you should still be ok growing "Banana Passionfruit" even though it would be too cold in Winter for the subtropical types. The Banana Passionfruit varieties have a smaller matte leaf, about 4 inches or 100mm across at most I think, whereas the normal sub/tropical varieties leaves are glossy and can grow to measure about 8 inches/200mm across.

[@KiwiCatherineJemma]

@thatpat1 Umm, does passionfruit usually taste "sweet" ? It's always somewhat acidic right ? The banana passionfruits I have had in New Zealand were very much old, poor grade fruits picked up off the ground, but they tasted fine. (I only ate some, as I kept most of the fruit pulp for planting). I always expect them to have a slight acidic sort of "bite" to them. My Banana Passionfruit seedlings are growing slowly but steadily (It's mid-Summer here now) but even in hot subtropical climates it takes 15 to 18 months to get your first crop from a passionfruit vine. The white, off-white and yellow "Banana Passionfruit varieties come from mountain areas of South America and that's why they can survive slightly colder temperatures in Winter. Remember though that in New York New Jersey etc you'll need to keep all passionfruit varieties inside a house or frost-free greenhouse whenever temperatures will be close to freezing (0*C or 32*F). Good luck with your passionfruit endeavours. Remember that the (usually) purple varieties often sold in shops, need warm subtropical or tropical conditions to grow well.

[@invaderzim1265]

@@KiwiCatherineJemma So if I grow some passionfruit, in the South 7B, would that plant have time to produce fruit before winter?? 🙏😣🌱

[@KiwiCatherineJemma]

@@invaderzim1265 Probably not, unless perhaps if it was in some form of Greenhouse which made it grow even faster. Even in the Warm frost free subtropics (like the video featured above) I think it takes them 6 months or more, for their first crop of the subtropical/tropical Black Passionfruit. Regarding my Banana Passionfruit plants, I just have the first few fruits forming now, and it's well more than 18 months since sprouting the seeds. Might be 2 years exactly by the time they're ripe to eat. We don't use the USDA climate zone system here, but my climate here is unofficially 9a/9b. Some passionfruit plants are planted in the ground and climbing up strings along the brick walls of this home on the hotter Western side, so the warmth in bricks will keep some cold/frost away. I have other passionfruit plants in pots (the largest being 10 litre/2 Imperial gallon) plastic pots. They are under my "Hills Hoist" style laundry/washing line in the backyard, Eastern side of the building and out in the open more... Good luck with your plant growing experiments and remember even "failures" are just experiments and lessons learned.

We'd never grown it before and asked others about it. The previous own had made a wooden box and sat it on the concrete path along side a concrete water tank, for the plant to grow over the tank, the plant was doing really well and we we're told passionfruit love lime and maybe that's why it had been planted on top of the concrete, so the plant could take lime from the concrete...it was still going strong when we left 6 years later.

In the early 50s, at Witchcliffe WA, we had a shed we called The Dairy.Each side, north and south, had a passionfruit vine climbing on wire netting. The fruit were deemed ripe when they ell off. We kids delighted in helping them fall off by shaking the vines. The vine on the north was by far the more productive. Neither was ever watered or fertilised. The soil was ironstone gravel, magnetic enough to pick up on a magnet. Best when they started to shrivel up.

When my dad went back to get more fruit from my grandpas house, my mom had sent guava and cheese empanadas for the neighbor. THEN they gave us a purple type of passion fruit and some more guavas. Here to make sure I can plant them best I can, because I love the tartness of the passion fruit we got!

I have several plants and all produce heaps of fruit (am in the Sunshine Coast AUSTRALIA). My secret before planting is to buy a cow heart (yup you read right ). I dig a deep hole , place the heart at the bottom , add soil and then the plant. It works like a slow release fertiliser . .

It would be interesting to see a “small space garden” challenge! As an international student my prospects for gardening at home are pretty restricted with the balcony my apartment has. It’s a good space, but doesn’t get much sun. I’m slowly finding veggies that might survive.

[@ericscavetta2311]

You should give it a go! I have 3 Passionfruit vines (purple variety) on my patio in the city. It gets afternoon sun only and does well. I’m in USDA zone 10a (San Francisco similar to Perth and Capetown), but it took 2 years to get more than a few fruit. Make sure the container is wide enough as the roots like to spread horizontally.

Great to make Italian ice cream from. My favorite! Wish I could grow them in the Netherlands without having to build a greenhouse

[@mikel5582]

Wow Mark, that's a nice harvest! I planted my first passion fruit last fall or early winter (I'm in a frost-free region) and the vines are taking off like mad along a wood fence in my very small yard. I need rethink the support structure before they overtake my 2 smallish citrus trees. Thanks for your informative and inspiring videos!

[@shubhamsawant293]

I have two variety of passion fruits purple passion fruit and yellow passion fruit but you're passion fruits plants are excellent because my passion fruit plants have not fruited yet because they are only 11 months old

[@jmcqueen3454]

Great video. For cold climates there is actually a passionflower species that comes back every year even after really hard winters. Passiflora incarnata, The fruits are definitely not as big and delicious as the tropical varieties however the leaves are supposedly the most medicinal when it comes to the calming affects of the tea or tincture.

I'm going to have to look into this. I am in Olympia, WA zone 8b. Thanks for the info! This video made me crave passion fruit so much that I just ordered 3 lbs of passion fruit to be shipped to me!

.zone 7b ..when Is Best Time for planing from seeds?

[@mirrorblue100]

You have a great set up there. Dang - I wish I lived in a warmer climate - I can grow flowers galore but no fruit. Thanks for the great video.

Hello, you are certainly a cool guy! Passion fruilt is very popular around here in Brazil. It is just not so comom to eat it like this. Normaly we make juices, mousses, cakes etc. And, yes, they are quite expensive here too. I realy enjoied your vídeo, land and cool accent. Greetings from Rio.

Indianapolis Indiana here and I got passion fruit 3 months after planting it. I have three fruits right now ❤

Can you do some videos describing the best things to grow in different climates or dirt types?

[@Selfsufficientme]

I have noted your suggestion down - thank you! :)

[@janinejackson9477]

Hello love your channel when i was little our next door neighbours grew the purple skin passionfruit. They waited until the skins were crinkly on the vine before picking them They were so sweet and yummy. They were brilliant gardeners growing many fruits ann veg.

[@forced2makethisbloodyaccou355]

Basic gardening information. Not all of your fruits and vegetables will look perfect like the crops put into supermarkets. But they will taste much better, and even in some cases you may never go back! Once you have tasted full ripened foods what you get in a market seems flavorless and dull.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Very true! Cheers :)

[@BassSeduction]

Just ate some experimental bucket grown carrots, of the most densely planted lot carrots might be a strong word but made excellent sweet 'carrotsketti'!

[@XmasEve64]

True, i get the feeling they are picked way to early. We had lovely pears, cherries and prunes back home. Soft and sweet. The supermarkets seem to know what we like. Whats wrong with a somewhat bigger fruit or veggie.

[@forced2makethisbloodyaccou355]

@@XmasEve64 Apricots. Store bought have no flavor. The fruit of the Gods should never be described as bland.

[@AtlantaGuns]

That’s most likely due to the fact those commercial farmers inject those fruits with growth hormones which make them grow to full size much quicker but don’t have the time to properly ripen and develop the taste.

[@sabin97]

i planted my passion fruit vine next to the fence(after asking my neighbours if they were ok with that, of course) and it took over. now it's flowering, so hopefully it will produce a lot of fruit.

[@Handles_AreStupid]

The people that say green passionfruit are poisonous are usually confusing passionfruit for "maypop" (a north american native passionfruit relative) which is usually confused for "may apple" (which is also native to north america, with a very similar name). The may apple is poisonous if you do not pick it at its perfectly ripened state, this is not true for most passiflora species or even the maypop.

[@mytropicalbackyard5696]

I have several vines that I grew from seed about 5 years ago. I kept them in a large pot until last year because there was no place for them. They were maybe 9 feet long and flowered once but never fruited. I planted them next to an oak tree last year because we moved to a new house, and they took off like a rocket. Totally forgot about them and one day last December my dad was mowing the lawn and noticed over a dozen fruits on the ground, it produced its first crop! It just now set its second crop ever and we have over 100 fruits and theyve grown 30 feet up into the tree! Since they drop once theyre ripe and have a thick skin, it works perfectly, and the tree also protects them from the cold (we had nights of 30°F and only lost a few leaves. they just love it there and i am soo ready to eat them :)))

How I wish I have space to do gardening like this.

[@toolbox0001]

Here in NZ there over 50 bucks a kilo! When i was a kid we had a vine running up besides the stairs and every other we had a mission as kids to rip it out and every year the bugger would grow back! Loved it....
