Does passion fruit grow on passiflora?
Yes, all are edible when ripe but quite a number are not worth eating.
Never eat them green though as they contain cyanide!
Thank you!!! That is something very useful to know!!!!
I wonder if that was what June meant when she said hers were
poisonous. Perhaps hers don't ripen.
June was talking about Japanese quince, I think, not passion fruit.
AFAIK

none of them are poisonous, except as Charlie has shown. In the past I've
made quince jelly from Japanese quince (Chaenomeles) but it wasn't very
interesting as to flavour.
