Growing Passion Fruit Vine

[@CaseyPlants]

No one told me once they get going they will grow a foot a day… lol Tampa Florida here 🌴😎✌️

[@raynadennis821]

Feeling so inspired! We just got our first 1.5 cu. yds of raised bed soil from AZ worm farm along with our first Moringa tree (just finished that video before this one.) Can't wait to start our planting. 😊

[@gregdonohoe3986]

Hey, somehow I deleted my comment but I live in Gilbert and just realized you are in AZ too. I bought an acre about 4 years ago and started planting all kinds of fruit trees over the past few years along with some bamboo and 5 Royal Poincianas (all are very small still). Found your video because I have had a passion fruit plant in a pot for the last year and was still trying to figure out where to grow it. Your video is much more informative than the others I have seen with lots of little details others have left out. There is a guy a street over from me that has the works in his yard- Moringa tree, Loquats, banana, starfruit, lots of other fruit trees and about 300 feet of different types of bamboo. If you ever want to chat, hit me up. I love to chat about my new found passion- fruit trees. Thanks for the info! I might put out a video soon of my yard and do some updates as everything grows.

[@gray_f]

Do you have a YT channel? We have some friends in Gilbert,AZ and are trying to figure out what to plant and how.

[@gregdonohoe3986]

@@gray_f I have one for my business but not for fruit trees yet. I will post it here once I get a video up.

I just germinated some seeds to get a vine growing through my aviary. I'm excited for my parrot to have a toy that regrows and regrows quickly

[@TheGardenNerd]

That's awesome! Good luck!

[@hannahnantumbwe9151]

Apparently where I am in central Uganda, we never have winter. It's summer all year except we talk of rainy and dry seasons. I'll certainly grow it well.

[@crystaljohnson963]

I struck two node cittings beginning of winter in perlite in my bedroom window a month later they have kept their original cutting leaf and rooted and throwing new leaves. 💚🌱

Dude! Your vids are epic. I've fallen down the rabbit hole. Live in SW AZ , and you're giving me some great ideas. I really want a barbados cherry.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Once you start with 1 tree you can never get enough! Soon you'll have 100 trees!

[@spearageddon3279]

Alex - I def reccomend the Barbados, mine is about 8' diameter in all directions (after many prunings) and only about 2.5 years old. I got cherries the first year and this summer it has been producing so many batches one right after another that we can't eat them fast enough. Zone 9b here (Central FL).

[@pn3940]

Yep. Butterfly laying eggs and hatching many caterpillars, munching in the leaves. :-)

I love growing passion fruit

[@abc_cba]

Please, do a video specifically on fertilizer requirements of Passion Fruit and pruning techniques. Best wishes from India 🇮🇳 Subscribed.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Good suggestion. Will do!

[@spearageddon3279]

He says don't do the cattle panel arch ... literally after I just finished putting together my cattle panel arch for my new passionfruit vine. 😕 I don't have a sunny wall or fence and the other areas of my yard have too many plants and trees that it would be a nightmare takeover. I will keep my arches narrow to provide more vertical strength and hopefully this hangs in ok. I also added the long green ground stakes around for added support as well.

[@TheGardenNerd]

That should probably be okay. My arch was not narrow and the vine just got so big that the arch couldn't hold the weight. I hope I didn't discourage you as my goal is always to encourage! Give it a shot and I'm sure you'll be fine!

[@spearageddon3279]

@@TheGardenNerd LoL ... not discouraged at all, just thought it was funny because I was literally outside today putting it together ... came in for a bite and watched your video while having lunch, so it was pretty funny. I do believe the width of the arch would of course play a role in strength across the middle/top, so with that in mind I will just ensure it's narrow & tall vs wide & shorter. Great tips, thank you!! 😊👍👍

[@sandrabrown4993]

@@TheGardenNerd I'm planning on using cattle panel arches as well. Was going to create a "tunnel" using two cattle pannel arches touching. Thought this would help provide the large area that it needs. Am I asking for trouble?

[@danielfisch655]

Great info, thanks for sharing.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Thanks as always for watching!

[@davidgardner1067]

Great video. Thank you for the information. I just bought a passionate fruit vine and the fruit on it is huge, like 3 inches long. I'm going to pot this vine and run it along my fence. I want to keep it tamed and not too bushy or overgrown. Can I keep the vine pruned way back? Hopefully I made sense. Thanks again for the video.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Yes, you can keep it pruned. Though it grows very fast so you would be constantly trimming!

[@vincenttran4438]

Good thank you for sharing

[@TheGardenNerd]

Thanks for watching

[@KB-ec3iy]

Thanks for the video. Assume vine! Does it freeze where you live? I live in Vegas and the last couple of years we have gotten temps in the mid 20s for a day or two. It killed my passion fruit plant along with my moringa trees among other things. I planted another and hope it will make it this time.

[@TheGardenNerd]

It freezes sometimes, but that's why I plant close to the house, trying to keep it warm!

[@FruitTree]

Good job. What kind do you have?

[@TheGardenNerd]

This is a Frederick.

[@ZE308AC]

Someone grew in on a wood fence and it was beautiful

[@TheGardenNerd]

I can imagine! Thanks for watching!

[@flutterby.222]

Thanks for the video! My number one dream fruit to grow is liliquoi. It's a yellow (soft skinned) passion fruit I tried when I was in Maui, it's unbelievably delicious! Unfortunately, I don't think I'm much of a fan of the Fredericks variety (maybe because I've only had the store-bought version). Do you know anything about liliquoi and if it's possible to grow here??

[@TheGardenNerd]

Yes, it is possible to grow here. I don't have experience myself, but I know it can be grown. Good luck!

[@abc_cba]

Hi, i want to make cuttings of my vine. Should I choosing the young shoots or the old wood for making the cuttings to root them ? Any suggestions?

[@dylanstjohn3356]

There are probably not monarchs, but are fritillary butterflies. They are all over mine.

[@LadyGoza]

Can you show the structure that you have it on in more detail?

[@godsongod4584]

Nice video, I am growing passion fruit last 7 month. It's growing so fast there is no flower is there any problem in my passion fruit?

[@TheGardenNerd]

No problem. Just give it time. It's just now getting established.

[@denisec8799]

Can I use worm castings to fertilize my passion fruit vines?

[@TheGardenNerd]

Yes! You can essentially use worm castings on anything, all plants love it!

[@lilicanseco283]

Where do you grow it? I’m in South Carolina the coastal area. Growing zone 8b/9a We go down to freezing sometime but not all the time however I brought mine in every day we were close to freezing. But this summer she will grow so much I will have to keep outside.

[@TheGardenNerd]

I'm in Arizona, 9a/b. If it gets hit with a freeze, it will generally bounce back once it heats back up again. And once the roots are established, it grows fast!

[@awong418]

What type of fertilizer do you recommend

[@TheGardenNerd]

Anything that's organic and alive!

[@espartaco2028]

You mentioned Monarchs and, my area, near Orlando, is a key pathway for The Monarchs. Note the plural. There are many more than one type of Monarch butterfly. Do you know about the Dutchman Pipevine? Ever seen the Blue tailed Black Swallowtail or the Yellow Giant Swallowtail? They require this vine to exist. I'm having a hell of a time getting one started. They're near impossible to grow from seed and the nursery charges a premium for the UGLY vine. I wonder if mixing the passion fruit vine with the Dutchman's Pipevine would...hmm...I have an idea...

[@tinaschraier6724]

if you are going to eat the leaves I would not interplant and think of future generations before you combine.. due to some wanting to eat the leaves and stems of new growth. Dutchmans Pipe warning : Is Dutchman's pipe poisonous? It's also known as the California Dutchman's pipe because its flowers are curved in the shape of a tobacco pipe. And then there's these “lips.” Oh hello, gorgeous! The vine grows heart-shaped leaves, but don't be fooled. The plant produces poisonous compounds that could cause kidney cancer if you ate it. As seen on :

I have a Colombian passion for 2 years. Last year I have a lot of flower but did not turn in fruit, I hand pollinated , this year start have flower at November , flower fell off again, can you tell me what to do, Thank you!

[@TheGardenNerd]

Keep fertilizing and being patient. Sometimes they take a few years to get going!

[@TeresaBearCFP]

Where would I buy a vine in Phx?

[@TheGardenNerd]

You can find them from time to time at Home Depot or Lowes. Shamus Oleary (Greenlife) also has them as well as some other nurseries around the Valley.

[@sirrenasingleton3311]

What about zone 7? Can it grow there?

[@constancejackson9414]

Which variety produces fruit? There are so many different types.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Passiflora edulis, Purple Passionfruit is the most common and the variety that I show here.

[@redrumax]

My passion flower plant is now climbing on the brick wall, so your statement is not true, lol. I also saw a huge one climbing on one side of a block of flats/appartments at a 7-8 metres height, simply stuck to the wall and covered in flowers.

[@TheGardenNerd]

Interesting, I'd love to see pics! In my experience I have not seen that. That makes it even better if I'm wrong though!

[@cathyplantlover2862]

My passion flower vine has yellow leaves am I over watering it?

[@TheGardenNerd]

Probably not. That is very common with passion fruit.

[@NMW80]

What climate are you in?

I’m growing a passion fruit but there are no flowers

Takes time. Most wont get flowers for the first 2 years.

The inside of passion fruit reminds me of frog spawn.

[@johntc7442]

My wife water everyday in the evening. She hand pollinated when flowers bloom. Whole flowers fall off couple days. Only left was a stem. Is she doing wrong?

[@TheGardenNerd]

It just takes time. Continue to care for the vine and fertilize and soon enough you'll have fruit.

[@johntc7442]

@@TheGardenNerd do you water the passion fruit everyday?

Hi. Great to know about the need for a strong support. This may be a stupid question, but when you say it grows 30ft, is that in diameter or radius? I mean, does one need to plant it in the middle of a 30ft wall or fence or a 60ft wall or fence? Thanks!

I'm not sure WHAT the deal is but, I'm on my THIRD "Type" of Passion Fruit vine, with the first two, producing tons and tons of beautiful flowers but not ONE passion fruit. Mexican dude at the landscaping place tells me, "Jew need the blue flower. Dat one make the fruit!". I said, "I told you, I have the blue flower one.". He says, "Oh, you do? Right. You need to PURPLE juan. Dat one - -". --Yeah, yeah! No. So, I went to Thomas's nursery on the other side of town. Groovy Susan Powder chick says, "You need the RED passion vine.". FINE! So, I bought the Red one and now, own a purple flower, a blue flower and now, a red flower! What am I missing? How am I not getting fruit?
