Passionfruit (no fruit)
 

I planted a passionfruit at least 7-8 years ago and for the first 3-4 years
it produced good quantities of fruit. The last 3-4 years however there is no
fruit at all, although it still flowers. Initially, the leaves were all
quite large but as years go on there are less large leaves and more and more
small leaves. Is there a way to restore vigour and fruit to it? Does it need
a prune, and if so when and how much, or is there another solution?

I was under the impression - correct me anyone if I'm wrong here - that
Passionfruit vines had a limited lifespan.. around 8 or so years....

I just recently bought a passionfruit plant from Bunnings and the lifespan
on that plant is 5 years

More poo? But the plant is approaching the end of its lifespan -- put in
another one this autumn/spring.
