but if you insist, I will try to get some from a friend in Hawaii


Perhaps a check first with AQIS to see if such can be brought in?

Easy done, he can stuff them into his shoes, then the seeds will be able
to
get a foothold in the ground when he gets here



Perhaps if he plants his feet.

The point is that foreign plant diseases etc can be introduced if proper
care
is not taken with seeds and plant material.

Why bother messing when you can buy them locally?

Passion fruit actually grow in the wild in australia these days, and in
the back of my mind there is a story which tells me some varieties might
be local varieties, not originated from Brazil.. But I'm not sure....
Will check some more, and get back to you later.

The original variety the purple one was imported from Brazil, the yellow
variety is thought to be a hybrid misteak which just happened so they
capitalised on it
