Thank you for the interest.  Sure.

Janet,

That is good question I forgot to mention.  The PQML came from the seed of quadrangularis.  We can fruit quadrangularis in NorCal for several year.  Some years the fruits are good but some other years aren’t ( the fruit of quadrangularis has to be ripe before December.)  we decided to make the cross of decaisneana x quadrangularis.  We used pollen of decaisneana put on quadrangularis flowers.  Later we   plant the seeds of the fruits.  There were different seedlings.  We wanted the big fruits.  We selected seedlings that had more than 4 petiole glands.  We had 5,6, 7, 8 petiole glands seedlings. PQML has 5,6 petiole glands.

For decaisneana fruits, I detected the fragrance of soursop.  Again, it depends the ripeness of the fruit and the time you pick the fruits.  The fruit taste best if they are ripe before the cold of winter.

I'm sorry for the loss.
Do you know of anyone who has living cuttings or survivors?

Hi Pandan,

My friend still has the vine.  It almost died from the last winter.  His vine just recovered.  I can get the cuttings from him to replant at my place. 

Thanks,
Hoang

Hoang, so sorry to hear your vine died.  I remember you saying it was your best tasting. 

I really wanted to grow your selection and kept the plants at home so I could keep a close eye on them, but I think it wasn't warm enough for them here.  I appreciate you sharing the genetics and really like the fruits on your Decaisneana.  The Quadrangularis I planted at the farm is still young, I hope it makes it. 

We started construction on my greenhouse today, so I will try the plants in the greenhouse to make the cross.  Thanks for the advice.

Janet

Hi Janet,

Does your P. decaisneana vine ever give you fruits?  You need to hand-pollinate its flowers.  The vine like steer manure and chicken manure.

Thanks,
Hoang

Kaz,

I tried growing this a couple different times.  They all ended up dying including the cuttings I grafted.  The Decaisneana from Hoang was much easier to grow.  I have a Quadrangularis and Decaisneana growing right next to each other at the farm to cross pollinate each other and will plant out seeds to try and recreate his hybrid PQML.

Janet

Hi Janet,

I am surprised that you can grow P. quadrangularis but PQML.  I just logged back to TFF and saw several mails from my inbox.  People asked me to buy PQML.  Unfortunately, the PQML vine was dead like Kaz mentioned in the thread.

When you cross P. quadrangularis x P. decaisneana.  The offsprings have several varieties from P. alata (2 petiole glands) to P. quadrangularis (6 to 8 petiole glands) [ P. decaisneana has 4 petiole glands ].  Remember the more petiole glands is the bigger fruits but less cold hardy.  Good luck with your farm.

I do have a greenhouse and I know it's not optimal time, but I'd like to get one going so that by next spring I have a headstart.  Can you send me a PM?

Thanks

I don’t have anything for sale now.

Just saw some of these posted on the bay area tropical fruit growers page. What is the difference between quadrangularis and this quad ML?  And do you have any more cuttings available?

PQML = p. quadrangularis x p. decaisneana.  My vines are strong but it is not good time to root in Bay Area unless you have greenhouse and maintain the lowest temperature above 60F to root their cuttings.  That’s why I don’t sell them now.

You have to feed steer/chicken manures around the base of your vine 1/2 ft away from the trunk when the lowest temperature above 50F in spring.

Kaz, your vine is passiflora quadrangularis.  Your vine is not strong to set fruits.  Your flowers are smaller and has slight color. 

It is too late to set fruits now.  If it sets fruitlets, the fruitlets will drop in winter.  You have to force it fruit around July and August.  The fruits will be ripe in October and November.  You can do it next year.   For pollination, you have to hand-pollinate the flowers.  You can use its own pollen or pollen of p. decaisneana, PQML, or P. alata.

This is the picture of my PQML:

It is easy to graft it on passion fruit vine.

Please let me know your root cuttings and grafts.

My cuttings arrived yesterday excellently packaged. Super impressed at how fresh they were. Thanks for the extras as well! Can't wait for these to take root!

Thanks again,

Peter
I cut, pack, and ship the cuttings in the same day.  Good luck with those cuttings.

Of the 3 which would you recommend? I am interesteed in the PQML

also for rooting do you water root them or stick in soil

To me, PQML is the best of them.  You can root cuttings in water or in soil. 

13
Update:  there is no more p. decaisneana and p. ligularis cuttings.

14
I ordered cuttings from Hoang this past spring.  All the decaisneana rooted easily.  When the quadrangularis ML cuttings didn’t make it due prolonged cooler weather and taking them off heat mats prematurely, Hoang was generous and sent me replacement cuttings.  Thank you so much Hoang, the PQML rooted and is now growing.

Janet

Thank you very much for the good words for me.

Kaz is a green thumb.  His stuffs are very good.

Just thought I would share my experience with the P. Decaisneana cuttings from Phi last December.. They spent the winter rooting up. Put them out in the spring in a 6 gallon pot. They started flowering about a month ago now they look like this.





Wow, you get fruits in container.  You are better me.  Congratulation.

17
You need to protect the passiflora quadrangularis in winter in Bay Area.

18
Is p. decaisneana supposed to be self fertile? I have pollinated 6-8 flowers so far and none have set fruit.

Hi Val,

Congratulation you succeeded to root the cuttings.   Yes, it is self fertile.  You were not the first person to ask me this question.  Fruits mostly will drop if the vine is in container.  You have to put it in ground.  If the vine is the ground and not strong, fruit will not be set.

Hoang

It's worth getting the cuttings as they root easily... and grow fast too.
Good Seller!

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for putting a good word for me.  How are the cuttings you bought from me?

Hoang

20
Do you have any seeds of passiflora decaisneana that you would be willing to sell?

Kevin is right.  If you grow from the seeds, it will take at least 2 years to see the first flowers.  Besides, the seeds of passiflora reduce germination success tremendously if the seeds are stored more than 3 months.

21
I have passiflora quadrangularis ML (PQML) cuttings.  $2 per cutting ( minimum 5 cuttings of the total cuttings).  Shipping fee $9 priority mail only in U.S.

The vines are growing in San Jose, CA (9b).  If you are below 9b, you have to have a greenhouse; otherwise, they will die in winter.  For pollination, use its own pollen.  You can cross these passilforas together.  For grafting, you can graft them on other passifloras.

They are for exchange also if you have mature sapodilla.

update: there is no more p. decaisneana and p. ligularis cuttings/

I just updated the ads.  I ran low on p. quadrangularis.  For medium priority flat rate box, it only applies to p. decaisneana.  I don’t recommend the small priority flat rate box.  It is too small to hold 4 nodes of the cuttings. 

23
I am growing PQ from Hoang and it grew well for me. Harvest a few dozens fruits last year while the vine was relatively small. The fruits are really tasty and I like eating the rind as well. Compared to regular passion fruits, it's a big plus since the entire fruit is edible.

Thank you very much for your information.  Unfortunately there aren’t many people taste the fruits.  Yes, the fruits are sweet and tasty.  It is important to harvest the fruits at the right time.  I detected the fragrance of soursop.

25
PM or email me a price for 10 Passiflora quadrangularis scions including shipping and I will send payment.
Thanks.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I PMed you.  Mine is not Passiflora Quadrangularis.  It is Passiflora Quadrangularis ML.

Thanks
