Do I need two plants do you know?


No.

My Nellie Kelly is a single plant and last year produced over 300 fruit.

Thanks! I too have bought two Nellie Kelly plants and wanted to give one
away if I didn't need to own two of them. I will be advised by you and give
away the extra one.

I have only two hints:

1. Bury a cat in the base of the planting hole; passionfruit like nitrogen.
An unwanted husband/child/MIL/politician would also be OK.

2. Watch it like a hawk for shoots from the stock. The first NK my Dad
bought was perfectly fine, but the more recent NKs seem to have a more
aggressive stock. Not only does it shoot from the base of the plant; it
shoots from the roots too! And takes over both your garden and the graft.
The flowers are pretty -- prettier than the edible fruit flowers -- but that
isn't the point of passionfruit IMO.
