Passion for Passionfruit - Quest for the best

[ben mango]

Some pretty big ones at the grocery markets in Colombia. For some reason I was more drawn to the grandillas

This quest cannot be over. Calabash for me, has the ultimate flavor and flower. The seeds have a good crunch too. There has to be others out there with a highly experiences passiflora palette to resurrect this topic.

@mike t, any progress on obtaining seeds of the Ernie or African Good from your chum in Koah? ;-)

Also curious if you’ve (knowingly) tried Passiflora Popenovii. Not sure if that’s a new kid on the block but descriptions sound stellar.

" One was with African Gold distributed by Limberlost Nursery (nothing to do with Africa just as Panamas have nothing to do with that country) and another was with Ernie, a grey triangular fruit bred in Bloomfield allegedly and it kicks serious ass. A third time was with a selection from Russell who sadly passed away and is of Russell Sweet Garcinia notoriety. His passionfruit is excellent also and I tried it on the weekend. "

Hey Mike, I have tried finding any of these three and nada - cant find nothing at all. I am in Sydney and was hoping that at least Daleys fruit etc would have something like this but not.

Just wondering where you are up to in your quest? Have you been growing any of them yourself?
