RevivalR00ts:
I have two solid vines, like 4 or more years in ground. They both flower and I’ve yet to see a single fruit. I thought maybe I needed to hand pollinate… nothing. Ready to chop these down and start over. It’s a shame because it should be raining down fruit. They both cover this crepe myrtle.

I’m looking for anyone that grows a delicious passion fruit to either buy or trade for cuttings or a rooted plant.

Thank you!

JackfruitChan2:
They could be ornamental hybrids. Could you post closer pictures of the flowers? Thanks!

I used to have close up pictures but I may have deleted them. I have done a horrible job of keep track of the types/ sources of my passion vines but they either have come from seeds that I got from fruit or cuttings from sources that were growing for fruit.

I had same experience. I even hand pollenated to no avail. Was in denial that the plant may have been mixed up at the nursery. Had it in the ground for 2+ years. Annoyed, that i would have to start over. I tired grafting it but the grafts lingered and then died. Finally, ripped it out. Planted new one first season flowered and fruited without hand pollenation.

So frustrating. These vines are super healthy and flower profusely, and I just imagine all the fruit I’d be swimming in. Do you know which variety you had that fruited for you? Still have it? Any chance for cuttings?
