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.


When we have planted just the one passionfruit its gone no where an
ddied. Planting a second one right next to the other and we get
hundreds of passionfruits. Early on though we could not understand why
it wasn't growing. Went back to where we bought it and they advised
planting a second one next to it which fixed the problem.


When you planted the original one, did you plant it on top of a liver? That
is the recommended way of planting them on the local gardening show and
apparenlty it woks to get the thing growing like Jack's beanstalk.
