I have a couple of extra Passiflora nitida and Ice Cream Bean plants if anyone in the St. Pete area
is interested and willing to pick up (sorry, no shipping).

Please PM me if interested.

How does Passiflora nitida compare to Passiflora laurifolia in terms of growth, flowering, production, and taste?  I ask because I've had a hard time getting to get P. laurifolia to flower even in a warm greenhouse, whereas I've gotten some of its relatives to flower (but not fruit).  I really like P. laurifolia fruit and have been trying to find a relative of it that has similar tasting fruit but will produce in subtropical rather than tropical conditions.
