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.

Ah! That must be where the advice to plant it on top of a cow's liver comes
from. Have no dead animals ATM, so will try the liver trick.

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.

Thanks for that - will keep an eye out for rogue growth.
