No, I don't know the Cyphomandra, sounds interesting! I can see Ray's

face now. One of our Passiflora edulis has fruits now but that's in the

antioquensis is flowering like a crazy thing but rarely fruits. Must go

and check on the Akebia quinata to see if that looks at all promising.



Cyphomandra betacea is fairly fast growing, and has fairly large

leaves. I grew it in a pot, and it would need protection only in

the winter, but I never got it to flower.



I'll look for it and present it as a fait accompli, perhaps!



I recommend buying a fruit when you get the opportunity - I like

them, but many don't. Like so many fruit, they are acrid when

unripe, but that disappears when they ripen.

Thanks, Nick. I don't know how easy that will be to find round here but

I'll keep my eyes open.
