no porn intended lol!!!
forget the hand pollination unless absolutely necessary (no bees)
it's a question of maturity

The actual fact is that young passion vines rarely produce fruit the

first
time
They grow rapidly in all directions but aren't really mature enough to
produce fruit for the first year or so
You DON'T need 2 vines at all
Just be a little patient and usually the Autumn crop will hold or the

crop
the following season.
Use a little rose fertilizer and plenty of water but don't prune too

much
in
the first year or so!!
Cheers

a
bush
which has plenty of flowers but no sign of fruit. Should their

be
two
types of flowers on the bush ie; male & female. Any help

appreciated,

I heard this quesion on a radio show. They said that passionfruit

don't
have male and female, but do need to be pollinated. If this has

not
happened, you can use a paint brush and do it yourself. Robyn.

How obscene. No porn on this group, Please!

Thanks Mark,
