I have a passion flower that has borne a huge number of fruit. Most of the
fruit are now orange in colour. I have left them on the plant as I thought
they went brown and crinkly with dry skins (as you buy them in the shops),
but some are starting to turn mouldy. Any tips?


I've not grown them but I understand that the one with orange fruits
is not the same variety as you buy in the shops. Someone will have
better info, but I'm not sure if yours are worth eating.
I think the edible one is passiflora edulis and the "common or
garden" one is p. caerulea.
