Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Can you bury passionflower trunk?
« Last post by NickD on Today at 05:06:39 PM »I ended up cracking the base of a 5yo vine in a large pot they get very brittle. It looked intact but u could see the vine just dry up.My maypop had about 20 fruits on its first year in a 5gal pot, although I accidentally snapped a large chunk of vine when I tried moving it inside to finish ripening after the frost, so only 8 of them actually ended up ripening. In a larger container, with a more mature plant, and a longer growing season, I would think you could get quite a lot.
I currently have 2 purple in 35 gallon pots 3 and 1 yo. Looks like I may get 75 fruits this spring. I am curious about what is the max number you could grow in a large container? I staring doing proper pruning (not perfect) this year and it made a difference.
