Shacking passionfruit vine for stuck fruits : Good or bad idea
« on: October 27, 2019, 12:34:22 PM »
Hi all, one of my passionfruit vines is quite large and many fruits will probably get stuck inside the vine.
I am thinking once the fruits start ripening and dropping to shake the vine once each a few days to drop the stuck fruits inside the vine but i am afraid that this shacking will drop the unripe fruits as well.
My question is the following :
According to your experience, unripe fruits are well attached to the vine? i mean they don't risk to drop easily when i shacke the vine?

Shaking is a good technique for passion fruit. Unripe ones hang on pretty tight, ripe ones fall after a while.

Shaking is also a great way of finding fruit when you have thick vines. Many times I cannot see the fruit, but can feel them when shaking the vine. A little like fishing, much less exciting.
