Nice informative video. I have grown a Passion fruit climber in front of my house in Heritage city of Mysuru, Karnataka, India and in 3 years of tending, it has grown upto 50 feet and has reached our terrace. So far it has given about 300 fruits and still growing bunches of them. Since the fruit has nutritious value, I have been giving these fruits to slum area schools where juice is prepared and consumed by poor children who are under-nourished. I have also prepared seedlings and when they sprout in about 2 months and develop tendrils and ready to climb, I plant them in public parks and distribute to people who would like to take care of this wonderful value added passion fruit. I have almost become passionate about propagating this fruit.
That is wonderful and caring--love to hear.
You're like Johnny Passionfruit instead of Johnny Appleseed!
You are amazing!
Thanks for your passion for others.
@@LiliansGardens 🙏👍 In these days of Corovid doctors are advising consumption of more liquid, healthy organic juices with vitamins & natural minerals. Passion fruit are full of value added vitamins. Please share.🙏👍
I live in the Virgin Islands& we just harvested 260 fruits. I don’t have a lot of land, but, have a healthy garden!
The two vines have really helped create a privacy fence for us. I use the young leaves in soups and sautées; with Asian noodles, in curries and mix into my pico de gallo.
sounds lovely
oh wow. i didn't know that the leaves are edible too.
@@eleonoramarree yes! The young tender ones are best and can even be stuffed like grape leaves .
thanks for the advice@@Gina-yy5fe
Dear friends I have bin using my passion fruit juice on my salads and find it extremely testing I have my passion fruts claiming um my mago tree and find it amazing so when I'm not packing mangos I'm picking passion fruit more amazing is the fact it's bin putting out fruits for the past 6 months and all the local criteris are finding their way to my my mago tree the squeals tend to try to eat them hanging in the tree but if drop from the tree they get disputed by all the creters! I'm thinking of planting avocados and mangos with passion fruts on their trunks so I'll be harvesting 3 different fruts at different times off the year
Los Angeles has a great weather for tropicals and subtropical fruit trees, vines.
I was thinking about growing a trellis of passion fruit over my small deep pond. Now I'm not, since watching this video😅....but I'll grow one somewhere else...for sure!
This is pretty much the most comprehensive and informative video on TH-cam ever. Well done!
Beautiful garden and great video. I finally bought a passion fruit vine after thinking about it for years, wish I would have planted one when I first thought about it! Every garden needs passion.
thank you so much for your detailed video. there aren't many youtubers nowadays who will take the time to go over each step anymore.
Where I am the smell of the passionfruit flower at night is intoxicating and worth growing for that alone...great video...thanks!

I love this! Thank you! Just bought my first vine. Can't wait to see it cover my patio.
I've grown passion fruit in Hawaii for 6 years along with papayas kale etc. and never bothered to learn much about them. I bought starts at the farmers market for 5 dollars .(red or yellow pretty equal qualities here.) I planted one on a dead lime tree and soon it looked like a green mound before the tree fell over. I never even thought of eating one that looked green still. I waited until they were purple or yellow. Green smoothies with banana and passion fruit were good.
I have learned so much from your video , and your love of the plant and fruit really comes out. Great video for showing just how easy it is to build a trellis and it how will be so cool to have a beautiful green leafy shady canopy. thanks for your work.
I am so glad that I found this channel. Great info 💚
Awesome clip I was able to learn more about passion fruit
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the passion fruit which I love
Thanks Charles you gave me great information for my grape vine trellis I’ve been hesitant about constructing. I’m going to build it tomorrow 🤔
I’m in Australia and can’t wait to plant my passion fruit. Thank you for your video
Just ordered a passion fruit plant online...then remembered, oh 💩! I gotta figure out where to plant and trellis it! I like this pole structure idea, looks very simple and effective. Thanks!
Awesome video! I am so blessed to be harvesting so much Passion Fruit this Summer! Thanks for the propagating info... I've never had success propagating my PF vines in the past. And i'll have to buy a bottle of that IV Organics spray 👍
Thank you so much. This is my first attempt here in Birmingham Uk at planting Passion Fruit. Your guidance is so helpful.
Your passion is inspiring. I am in Southern Africa (Lesotho) and I going to start experimenting with passion fruit this year...
Thanks a lot for the great info. I have a small Passion Fruit orchard in the island of Bali in Indonesia
i just bought 2 plants, they're about 4 inches tall. i've never grown them before, but can't wait to see how they do in my garden in florida.
Your garden looks very productive and Green. Thank you for sharing!
Hello Pho Forever,
Thank you so much for the compliment! My garden started without a single plant about 5 years ago... with the first tree being planted only about 3 years ago! Thank you for writing me! Charles :-)
Our purple passion fruit vines develop crown rot after a couple of years here in SW Florida. We've had to start grafting ours onto different Passiflora rootstocks. Your vines are beautiful!
Hi!
Your zeal for gardening is something I find commendable.
My daytime job as a Software programmer and the evening job as an Applied Mathematics tutor doesn't give me the time to serve my interests in gardening but I can totally relate to you.
I stay in India and it's time for the Mandarins to be harvested (my city being called the Orange City of South Asia).
If you ever make it to India, I'd be very happy to host you ,Sir !
I planted a Passion fruit vine and I'd keep asking you for its care whenever I feel like. Because in India it's grown for its flower , 99% of people don't even know that the plump fruit is edible and they just let it grow like it's a waste.
Thanks for such an informative video.
Thanks for the great idea of preparing a trellis.
I learned a lot from this video. I have a passion fruit tree which I plan to propagate. Thank you!
Such an awesome passionfruit vine! I hope mine look that beautiful eventually! Arizona sun is pretty intense. I’ve been experimenting with different products trying to find ways to protect the leaves.
I really recommend doubling up on the nylon ties, or even using galvanized wire instead. Nylon ties are no secure enough even though very strong at the beginning. They can crack use to cold, sun, age. Be careful out there, vinyl coated rebar is heavy, and it is overhead.
😊Excellent video on passion fruit. Thank you so much for this information.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful presentation. I found the information you shared is very useful and applicable. Again, thank you.
I would love one. My mother loves passion fruit!!!
I am Sooooo glad I found this video again !!..
I live in southwestern Ontario Canada. I purchased a beautiful flower at my local greenhouse last spring, not really knowing Anything about passion flowers ~ other than it was one of the most different & amazing flowers I had ever seen.
This poor plant grew in the shade on my deck all summer.
I think it was almost Halloween when I found this video the 1st time.. couldn't help what I'd done last summer, but gave me hope for this year. So, I took my poor plant inside, kept it on my only room with an east window for the winter. It did drop all its leaves, slowly... possibly because I didn't water it enough. But I couldn't remember what you had said about when to cut it back (& couldn't find your video forever, lol.. but now I am subscribed. :) So I left it alone.
Amazingly, this spring, it started throwing out new growth !!
Unfortunately, I am slow to get things accomplished, and we are reinventing our garden this year. I only figured out where I was going to try growing my plant this year & Finally, July 8th this poor, still very behind but alive plant made it out to the garden & actual full sunlight.. & then we had had a good rain every day since !!.. 😊
I can hardly wait to see it take off with fresh growth. And I plan to try getting some cuttings.
I'm sorta hoping that moving it outside so late will help keep it's crazy amount of predicted growth a little stunted, because I need to take this plant back inside, possibly by mid Sept.
We can get frost that early ~ it could also be mid Oct or early Nov sometimes too.
I'll have to update my 2023 season late this year. But I'm looking forward to maybe some fruit this year.. but, I Definitely will enjoy seeing the flowers.
And I would agree that eating them does help my pain to a degree.. so, I'm looking forward to finding out more about this amazing plant with a most outrageous flower.. 😊😊
I had a super vigorous vine that was growing a tad out of control so I gave it a severe pruning in late fall/early winter and the next thing I know it was dead. Very good advice!
I loved this, thank you for sharing. I'm headed down the passionfruit path here in Australia.
i learn so much from this very informative video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very nice👌🏻 Thanks for the information. Looking forward to grow passion fruit.
Very nice his lectures. Useful to me as a novice.
Beautiful. Be careful to keep too much growth near your A/C. The system needs good ventilation for best efficiency and lifespan. ❤️
Excellent instruction. Just notice my plant is growing again so I will Your tips to maintain this plant.
thank you for all
I love passion fruit
Made me want to cut one of my passion fruits open. such an informative video! I just need to figure out a trellis system for them
Thank you learn so much. I finally had my 1st passion fruit. Sent to me from Puerto Rico. They were amazing. Ok question. I took some seeds and just planted 1. In the house. Will it grow indoors?? For now. Don't have a yard I have a porch. Till the spring?
Really nice and educational video, thank you!
Great info. Thanks!
I just saw your channel. I love it. You are amazing. 🥰🤲🏼🙏🏻🐣🥰happy Easter men
This video inspired me to look in botany more
Thanks for great info. I plant it mine next to my shade tree. So it goes up.
Thanks for good knowledge.
Thank you so much for all your knowledge on passion fruit. I have a maypop passion vine I hope it gives me fruit. I live in Texas.
Great video Sir!!! Hallo from Cyprus (where a lot passion fruits is) and good luck😁
Awesome Video! Great info! Definitely subscribing.
I found your video by accident and I have never been so exited to watch an almost 40 minutes video on TH-cam. Seen your garden with the banana trees,avocado trees and the passion fruit vines made me homesick. I grew up in Puerto Rico where is normal to grow those plants in our backyards. I bought on Amazon 4 baby pasion plants of your variety, which for my surprise arrived very healthy, and just recently I repotted them into bigger pots and placed them outside. The reason for the pots is because I want to be able to bring them inside when the winter comes. I live in north Texas now and I read the plants could die when the temperature drops. Any tips for growing them in pots? In your experience, will they die in the winter if I transplant them in the ground? In the winter is normal in here to get temperatures below freezing and couple of days, below 0. Thank you so much for your video, it has been very helpful. I'll be subscribing. Keep the good work.
Fantastic video.. thank you for sharing...
Amazing notes Hw to grow thank for taking your time to help everybody Nw we can live a better life learning what fruit is good for the body
Thank you for the video.
Lots of helpful information. But, did I miss preferred soil types and fertilizer requirements?
I've got some young plants grown from seed. LONG germination of about one month, but they made it.
This is the BEST I've ever watched!!!!! What about Granadilla's?? I've heard it is sweeter that other passion fruits.
Hi Charlies. Very informative video. I live in the Los Angeles area as well and started growing the same passion fruit variety as you have a little over a year ago. I planted it in a corner of my yard and used the metal fence with several horizontal rails as a trellis. Eventually the vines grew like crazy so I just let it grow wild on the roof of my garage. So as you can imagine, this year is my first year of fruit production. As I've been harvesting the fruit and also dealing with rodents like rats, I've noticed some leaves dying off esp. on the vines closer to the main trunk. Is this normal? Another thing I noticed also is that the vines closer to the main trunk have become thicker and more "woody". I'm sure you know what I mean. I know you said that you usually prune back 80% of the vine to the main trunk. How many vines do you leave on the main trunk and do you ever prune entire vines back to the main trunk? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Dave
Thanks you for your informative videos as always, I am from San Diego and I've been keeping an eye out for a video on Passion Fruit Vine. I purchased a Red Rover around march this year, the tree is growing very well however I noticed a lot of the leaves have been attacked by some pests they basically munch on the leaves leaving them with many holes, and almost fully destroyed; also I did get a lot of flowering but the flowers don't stick they open up for a day or two then fall off without fruiting. Any ideas what is going on with the flowers? and what how I can get rid of the pests organically, I feel the source of the pests is not just from the ground but possibly the fence is climbing on .
Great video! What's your opinion on the passion fruit here in palm spring were its always well over 100 in the summer
he charles, another great video, very infomative. i bought another fuente and bacon alvacado, and a papaya tree, today from homedepot. i put them in shade, added some c-90, and organic plant food. just wanted to say thank you. i must continue watching the rest of your video. much love and god,s peace be with you
also i meant to mention that last year i bought my passion fruit vein. this year i noticed about 7 flowers on them and a few days later, the flowers had gradually closed up and hit the ground. i notice more developing, and a trail of ants on them. i think the ants are getting the pollen on the flowers not allowing the flower to be fertilize for fruit. i really don,t want to harm the ants, but i may not have a choice but to put a soapy spray on my passion vein.
Good evening Rafiqa11,
Always great to hear from you! What is the "C-90" you mentioned above?
Regarding the ants on your passion fruit vine, please do nothing; unless you notice that their are white flies, aphids, or other sucking pest that the ants are harvesting on the vine? For some reason, ants are attracted to the sweetness the plant exudes through the flowers and leaves, but 90+% of the time without any harm to the plant. A percent of the flowers on my vine fall as well due to a variety of factors, such as lack of pollination, temperature, fertilization, watering pattern, etc... Also, as the plant gets its roots established, it will continue to gain vigor in size and fruit yields! Please keep me posted on your growing successes! Also, be sure to care for your newest additions through our upcoming heat wave. Young avocados and papayas are susceptible to our upcoming 100+ degree days. Much love and God's peace be with you too! :-)
Charles
thank you charles, and i will keeop you posted on my new plants. yes there is aphids usu on the plants where the ants trail on...C-90 is higher percentage of minerals then rockdust. i was informed of this product from a blogger"growing your greens" john kohlor.
My respects you really know what are you talking about. I grow before passion fruits, but the ants make a nest inside the trunk and kill it. but I will try again following your advice and tips. God bless you man.
I have a great home for those clippings. lol Send them my way! I'd love to have some. :)
Hi Charles, your video so wonderful and I learn a lot from it. Thanks so much. I'm in MD and my passion fruits grow so well and heathy for all summer, but I do not see any flower or fruit? Now weather turn cold!!!What fertilize you use on your vine? I use Miracle Gro. Is that enough or need some things else for the vine produce flowers and fruits? How you protect the vine through the winter time?
Thank you for showing your video...
My pleasure! Thank you for the compliment Necita Burpo!
Charles :-)
My favorite thing to do is use the passion fruit and make a curd like lemon curd and put it over cheesecake or cheesecake squares. I also make a filling for cakes. Add it to goat cheese and make a smear for over pancakes like they do in hawaii. Look up Liliko'i for recipes. These are selling for $1.99 each at Sprouts right now. So easy to grow and gorgeous flowers. I am having great success starting new plants from seeds. Took months for them to sprout, but now they are doing great!
Wow, I just bought a small starter passion fruit plant. I have a back fence I need to cover.
Hi , thank you for your video series they have been very helpfull in my garden ! One question i live in puerto rico and we have summer all year round no such thing as frost , will the passion fruit vines continue to produce indefinately all year round or do seasonal rules still apply?
Hello! I loved this video! I'm impressed with your back yard!! What a bountiful area! I live in Colorado so my passionfruit tree comes inside under a grow light in the winter. We've had it for 2 years. I was hand pollinating while out was indoors and although I got many flowers, we've gotten no fruit yet. 😔
Do you think it would come back if left out to go dormant for winter?
Also, I propagate cuttings in water until there's roots and then transfer to soil and they seem to love it! Wish I could add pictures to show you!
Haha... just got to the last few minutes which says it may resprout.
Adorável seu jardim 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You love PF just as much as I do!
Thanks for the video very informative. I bought a Frederick Passion Flower Vine (Passiflora Frederick). Would that bear fruits or just flower?
Wow are these all from just 1 passion fruit vine? If yes, it’s crazy!!! I bought 2 seedlings and planning to plant it soon!!!
Hi Charles, thank you for the video, very informative! I have a passion fruit vine that I inherited when I bought my house about a year and half in Southern California. We have had two good harvesting seasons, but it was mainly in Dec to March. Starting earlier this year we started noticing a lot of dry leaves, and the leaves are turning yellow. I am not sure how old is my plant, but I don’t want to lose it since it is the highlight of my garden. Is it dying? any way I can help it recover? Thank you so much for any help!
NITROGEN ....add fertilizer
the best one is call ligularis I have that one very hard to maintain alive because of the weather. i also have edulis kind yellow i grew them all from seed i use to have Frederick one years ago now im doing those too.
hi Charles, I want to thank you for the tremendous efforts you put to assure the best quality for you tutorial videos, I am a huge fan.
I want to say that I am desperately looking for some passion fruit cutting, I found no one in ebay that ship them to Morocco, so if you could help me I would be veeery thankful
Thank you so much
My Panama Red and Yellow P. edulis bloom in the evening and through the night from 5pm.
Thank you for information. Question how do you deal with vine not choking itself ?
Thank you for this very informative video. I am growing a few types from seed including Passiflora tripartita mollissima - Banana Passion Fruit, Passiflora laurifolia - Water Lemon, Passiflora ligularis - Sweet Granadilla , Passiflora quadrangularis - Giant Granadilla, and Passiflora edulis - Purple Possum Passion Fruit.
I hope to grow these down in Coastal Orange County Ca and hopefully in Central California around Visalia Ca. I am a little concerned about the central CA location at my parents ranch. It can get rather hot at times, over 100 degrees. Water comes from a well, so I can keep it well watered during the hot times. Think I should install a shade cloth over the vines?
My passion fruit are yellow colour are they safe to eat
Omg thank you 🙏🏼 I got so many questions 😞
My passion vine here in Sacramento is LOADED with fruit which started to appear in early May! I got a foot tall seedling 3 years ago and this is the first year I've had flowers and fruit 😍. I guess theyll ripen in August?
Hi @SUSANCHAM I LIVE NEAR Sacramento as well and just got a passion fruit plant. Did you plant yours in full sun? I am afraid our Sac sun and beat might be too much. Thanks and co grats on your passion fruit tree.
When do yours start to flower? I'm in roseville
From my experience - after so long the zip ties can turn brittle and break. You can also ry using cord from some blinds. It is very strong and I have seen it out live zip ties easy. So if you can tie a good knot. . .And people throw away blinds all the time so you can get cord free! Jus' a suggestion.
Máš to krásný 👍
great video, thank you Charles. I love passion fruits too, i'm growing a 1.5 years old passion vine here in New Jersey, it's been about 18 months and I just saw the first few flowers. one thing I am concerned with the passion fruit vines especially the big lush fence vines, I have seen pictures where snakes are found in the vines. I'm scared of snakes. Have you seen any in your vines?
Hello galaxy trekker,
Thank you so much for the compliment! And it is great to hear that your having such great success growing passion fruit in NJ! Great news!!! There are snakes in our area, however, I never really thought about them hanging out on the passion fruit vine. Always a risk... if there are snakes in your area.... and the more dense the passion fruit vine, the more likely to attract more "pests". I know that there have been mice, rats, raccoons, possums, skunks that have all been reaping the benefits of the passion fruit vine and fruits that fall before I collect them. By keeping the plant smaller, and more manageable, there will be less pests and risks of lost fruit. Charles :-)
If you let your doggie loose to roam around the area most likely the snakes won't feel welcome
Great Video Charles. Thanks for the info. You mentioned you had not found homes for many of your passion fruit vines. Ever consider selling them or doing a give away to others who want to grow passion fruit?
Hello Kate,
Thank you so very much for the compliment! :-)
E-mail me at Info@IVOrganics.com
Charles :-)
Selling plants legally through the mail is an involved process. There are state regulatory agencies involved. I live in the part of the United States that is under a quarantine for fire ants. If I were to sell plants through the mail, I'd have to get inspected to make sure I was doing it in a way that wouldn't spread fire ants. I'm not sure of the legalities of giving them away.
Looks so good. I need help. Do you have a problem with Passion flowers for chewed up by some insects before they get to open up? So many of my flowers got bitten off early in the morning with fresh bites. I couldn’t see any culprit. Please help
Glad your chanel is growing...would be awesome if you had a bigger backyard. 👍 I would gladly accept a cutting good stuff.
Charles live in arkansas grow 2 natives type purple and white bees and butterflies love them old timers call cross flower because of design.
So jealous! 😍 I have very little grow space here... I need to stop watching these great youtubes!
Hello Laurie Paris,
Thank you so much for the compliment! My entire backyard space is approximately 700 sq. feet of growing space.... The rest is hard scaped with patio, courtyard, gazebo, retaining walls, etc.... And in this growing area, I've got about 25 fruit trees and dozens of vegetables, ornamentals & succulents. I hope you are making the best use of your growing area! Great to hear from you! Charles :-)
Passion fruit can be grown in five gallon buckets. I have all my vines on a wire grid up on eight foot posts. It provides good shade and the fruit just falls when ripe. We get about one fruit per year per sq ft without fertilizer. You can grow the vines over a roof. The fruit rolls off!
Thanks to you both for the excellent advice! May be trying this in 2018.
Laurie Paris check out air rooting. Use a clothes hamper instead of a solid bucket..
peterinbrat I've got a 5 gallon bucket that spring a leak, I'm thinking of using that, drilling some large holes for aeration. My problem here, is shade... lots of mature trees. I've got one small approx 6 x 6 area that gets about 6 hours of sun... but I'm thinking I can put the bucket in my foundation planting, run a trellis or let the vine trail over the bushes... grow a vine there.
Thankyou for this video. I have a purple Passion vine and it got hundreds of fruits this past spring/summer for the first time in 4 years. However it stopped flowering in June. I was wondering if this is normal or should it continue to flower through the summer?
What time of year does your passion fruit wake up and start growing there in Southern California? I have a big purple P. Edulis in my greenhouse that I would like to move outside for the spring-fall, but I'm worried about moving it out too soon and having it get stunted by the cold. My greenhouse is quite warm, and it's starting to grow fast now. I want to get it outside before it takes over.
How do you know when your cutting is ready to be transplanted from the plastic cup with vermiculite/perlite to a bigger container with a different kind of soil? What kind of soil do you recommend for the second stage of propagation? Thanks a lot!
You can get UV resistant zip ties (typically black) that hold up better outside in bright sunlight.
First, what are you using to fertilize it? I'm amazed at how productive your passion fruit vine is! Secondly, whatever purple variety I have the roots are incredibly invasive. Never again will I have it growing in one of my 8'x 4' square foot garden beds. The roots not only took over most of the bed, it was also the worst root knot nematode infection I've ever seen. I read that you should graft the variety onto the yellow variety, which is nematode resistant. So that's what I did. But it's not nearly as productive as yours.
BTW, thank you for the Florida nursery reference. I see they have a couple of different yellow varieties, which is interesting since I had such a difficult time finding seeds. Also, I may need to get your IV 3 in 1 mix. Since pruning my passion fruit vine way back the summer sun scorched the trunk.
Hello David,
(1) Any organic fertilizers, granular and liquid, fed lightly on average 1x per month through the growing season. Passion fruit are more prone to chemical fertilizer burn that most plants, and it wont be organic if using chemical methods. Also, I have not noticed my passion fruit variety to ever have an invasive system. On average the plants roots grow in an area about 2-3 feet from the plant and can be easily uprooted without tools... even after 5+ years of growth with one or two hands.
(2) Regarding seeds, I would recommend starting with proven to perform cuttings for productive parent plants to ensure that you get exactly what you are seeking. Seeds, just like human children, differ somewhat from the parent. Seeds could produce less than desirable taste, yields, quality, etc.... My worst experience with passion fruit is loss due to early winter pruning, rather than waiting until early spring, AND loss due to over feeding/ disrupting the shallow roots. Therefore I am very careful not to disrupt the shallow roots ever. Lastly, with average life of passion fruit being 7 years, I have lost some plants in as little as 2-3 years... So propagation by way of cloning (cuttings or airlayering or grafting) should be practiced every year to preserve the genetics of your desirable selections.
Keep me posted on your passion growing successes! Charles :-)
I planted a passion flower about 3 years ago. It never had any flowers until this year. After the flowers a fruit formed, I'm afraid to eat the fruit thinking it might be toxic. It is an orange color with a red seed and not as big as what you are showing. It also has not fallen off the vine, and gets very airy if you pick it almost pops when squeezed. Could this be because it's its first year to produce, and is a fruit safe to eat? Thank you for your help and inexperienced passion flower grower.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. My flowers keep dropping. May I know why? Thank you for sharing.
I will gladly take a cutting since i live in California.
So I wonder If I can basically grow them as a perennial in Maryland 7b. We get some long hot summers here,and I could just get a cutting at the end of the season and save it for the next year
