passion fruit vines dying
My passion fruit vine, being in the middle of severe water restrictions
is showing signs of dying. Dimpled fruit, yellowing limp leaves and major unhappiness. If you see fruit going dimpled give it a thorough soak now. Its probably to late for mine but I'm trying to save it at this point. Has anyone else got or had this problem? |

How old is the vine and what part of the country are you? As I understand it they have a limited life span of , think, seven or eight years. We lost our Epacris impressa to the drought even though it is native to local area and our lemon and apple trees are droping leaves and fruit like you wouldn't believe - I guess no home grown apples this year but alot of frozen lemon juice and home made lemonade. |

It only three four years old. Its not old enough to die. I know its a water problem. |

My Silver Beet, which was standing upright at 10.00am this morning was lying down and having a rest at about 5.00pm, then we got a storm and it stood up again. No, I don't have that problem, but then I don't currently have a passionfruit. It's jsut everything else that needs constant watering and regulalry threatening to die. |

I thought I'd give others a warning, this ones a huge threat. Its never
looked like this b4. Though it may pick up, I have some doubts. I will keep us informed.

g'day jonno,
i'm ne passionfruit expert either but what i have heard some varieties (the purple one?) only have a life of around 4 some go for longer, so it may depend on the variety? also what are you doing with your grey water from the house? we have one of those jamacian gold i think? only just planted a few months agao, all it gets is shower water and some of my wee water, and it's loving it.

It fights its way with a tree for survival, like all things its birth was accidental. Water restrictions are creating a jungle here in Melbourne with the local State government looking for way to stop home gardeners growing food etc by restricting their watering hours due to what I feel is who "cares type" management and not looking well into the future. No dams indeed. You cant make any more rain, I say then, No banks then either, you cant make any more money. They look like a government, but do they smell like a government talk like a goverment? They smell like b^&%*%*shit. But I bet it wouldnt grow anything.... Other than that theyre probably OK. |

ok jonno,
i'd suggest throwing some grey water at it and then mulch it heavily mulching won't affect the tree negatively either. and yes that's what we pay those expsnsive monkees to do hey "the politition walk hey" yes they want all home agrdens shut down and they want you all to be drinking sewer water and paying for it at the tap. now how silly are their constiuants, silly enough to spend vast amounts of money and tv time watching all sorts of sport and not getting in touch with what is happening closer to home. and then paying for waste water to drink.

Your passionfruit is getting its roots alternatively baked and watered, baked and watered. Just a couple of days ago you mentioned to someone that their plants probably died from the heat after repotting. Mulch the poor thing and see if a nice even temperature ground with an even water supply will do it any good. |

It gets a whole heap of rain and while the restrictions are on havent checked it as much as I should've. There is only so much time to water....... Will get around to it when I finally get back to work. Anyone want a bus driver with a medium rigid in Melbourne? (For those people who might misconstrue the above, it is a licence to drive a truck which is classed as a meduim rigid vehicle. No need for viagra) |
