So when did it start flowering? Im curious as i've got a Nelly Kelly clone
growing now but i only planted it late last year so no flowers or anything
yet. It's gonna be a long wait!

it might be too late now to fertilise the crop for this year but after
it flowers cut it right back and feed it with some epsom salts. then in
spring give it a dose of super phosphate and some potash throughout the
growing season and you will have more fruit next year

They love lots of chook poo.
Gross feeders and need plenty water
See previous posts re details of passion fruit vines...

They don't produce much in the first year.

The best fertiliser is, apparently, a dead cat underneath the seedling at
planting time. They love nitrogen. Don't try to put in a dead cat now as the
plants are very sensitive to root disturbance. Maybe Dynamic Lifter.

Wow A dead cat. All the ones I see are live.
Would be a hell of a find....I can see it now !
Dead cat fertiliser. Ideal for passionfruit vine
Would be marketed by our mates at yates?
Look at your local council pet collection center..
Slogan "When normal poo wont do, try a cat or two..."
Come on youre not suggestion another use for a dead cat?
That would be use 102...
I read the first book. "101 uses for a dead cat..."
