I have a passion flower that has borne a huge number of fruit. Most

but some are starting to turn mouldy. Any tips?

If it's a Caerulea passionfruit, they'll stay orange!
Pick them when they are uniformly orange, the fruit doesn't taste to
good though!


Always struck me as wierd that the fruit of the passion flower is not
passion fruit.
