Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: 'Pre-order' for passiflora species
« on: September 27, 2016, 12:44:43 AM »Potentially interested in Pandora, sweetheart, misty gem, and panama gold. Also interested in info regarding other varieties, particularly the best in taste and productivity. What can you tell us about passiflora popenovii for example?I second that. I imagine it depends on whether these passiflora are out crossers. Even if these passiflora species are self compatible, their level of ploidy could cause variety in this seedlings. To the OP, can you ask your supplier if seedlings are consistent in their traits and if no, how do they vary?
Another seller of passion fruit seeds had the following info regarding F1 seeds in their listing:
This is an F1 seed, meaning that the cross pollination was done and then the seeds were collected from those first generation plants that were cross pollinated. If you grow plants with these F1 seeds, the plants will be disease resistant and they will give you the most amazing passion fruit. If you then save your seeds from this fruit, when you try to grow a vine with that collected seed you will not get the same wonderful vines that you grew from these F1 Seeds and they will not produce the same wonderful fruit as the vines that you can only grow from these F1 Seeds. Almost all of the seedlings grown from the seeds collected from the fruit that you grow will revert back to one of the parents, and sometimes you will find some strange results. After the cross pollination happens, the first seeds collected are F1 seeds and the plants grown from these seeds are the only ones to have something called hybrid vigor. These seeds will grow a plant with hybrid vigor. People who grow the best Passion fruit do it with vines grown from F1 Seeds like these. You can take cuttings from an F1 plant, and the plants that grow from those cuttings will be F1 plants. The best tasting and most disease resistant plants are plants grown from F1 hybrid seeds.
Are the seeds you're offering F1 hybrids?
