Looking on info on my ?? passion fruit

Tried to root passion fruits. No luck. So I was gifted this one by my daughter. Came from a local nursery and was sold as a patio plant. Only info on the label is passion fruit. No variety listed. Fruit purplish. Inside yellow/orange pulp. Already gave me one ripe fruit. Taste sweet//sour. Better than the yellow skinned ones I am familiar with. Grows in a 5 gallon pot. Has about 9 more fruits at different stages of development. Will soon have to come inside.

Most likely they are Frederick. If not, then Possum. Frederick usually drop while yellow/greenish. After a few days to a week on the counter, they will start to turn purple.

Thanks for the info. I am secretly hoping that it's possum because I googled it and the info says it might me cold hardy. That's a good thing for me being in zone 6b/7a??. I will still put it away as soon as it gets cold because I love my little passion plant. Reminds me of home.

Fredrick is egg shape. Possum purple is egg shape also but more round. Red rover is round like a ball with thick shell. Yours(in the original post) looks like red rover. Its definitely not a fredrick.
