No fruits have been produced!


None that you've noticed anyway. Some passion fruits are quite small and
hard to see in the foliage.


Maybe, but it only started flowering a month or so ago, and the fruits
of this one are supposed to be red and about 1 inch across. I've been
watching for fruits as I want to harvest the seeds!

But, I won't deny the possibility, just that it's unlikely at this
point. G

And, I checked, and the root system has indeed left the pot!
The two sprouts, one is about 12" away from the base of the pot and the
other is about 24" away from the pot. All of the flowers are on more
distant tendrils, but that does not rule out squirrels!
I'll start looking harder for fruits.

How long after blooming does it take a fruit to mature?

Pretty. We have two varieties, one is purple, very pretty, "incense" I
believe. The other one is green and white and that one produces fruits
and seeds out the wazoo, they germinate everywhere.

Thanks!!! I'm not going to panic over root shoots, I'll just have to
keep tabs. I don't want them getting anywhere near my foundation.


I doubt a tiny little vine could even dent a piece of concrete..


No, but I've heard from other list members that they will do the same
thing ivy does... Find any crack or crevice and work their way inside of
buildings! I don't allow English ivy to get near the house either. lol
