G'day

Does anyone here grow Hawaiian Passionfruit and have a spare fruit that I
could use for seed please? I've just tasted this variety and it's a 'must
have'. Of course, I'll pay for postage costs etc.

Thanks heaps
Bronwyn ;-)

Not sure what you mean by Hawaiian passion fruit as the passion fruit was
introduced to Hawaii from Australia around 1920
so you would have been eating the Australian passion fruit
but it originally from Brazil

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

G'day George


Thanks for the offer but I'll pass due to quarantine reasons. If I
wanted to go that route I could have put a fruit in my own shoe last week.

The fruit I ate was a yellow skinned variety and the pulp was quite
pale, not at all bright yellow like the black skinned fruit I normally
buy. It wasn't acidic either, in fact quite sweet and when I enquired
was told it was a 'Hawaiian'. Unfortunately they didn't know the
botanical name for the variety, which of course, I realise would have
made things much easier.

Skin-colour is not important, I really liked the flavour of the pulp.

Not a problem, I have purchased the yellow variety here in OZ at different
times and I thought they were a bit bland, I am sure you could pick tthem up
at Safeways

is it the kind known as "banana passionfruit"?

No, Kylie....Banana Passionfruit are elongated and Hawaiian's are round.
They looked like Panama Red (which I've discovered they are related
to) but the skin is a yellow/green. Pulp is quite pale, very very sweet
and not at all acidic. Really lovely tasting and that's why I want
one!! LOL

Bronwyn,

I was in a Flower Power store yesterday and saw packets of Hawaiian
passionfruit seeds, so they are readily available in Aus. Of course,
I can't remember which seed company it was that was selling them, but
if Flower Power is selling them then they must be fairly easy to get.
If you are anywhere near Sydney you could try the Mt Annan (Narellan)
FP store.

Thanks so much Tish. Have never heard of FP. I'm on the MidNorthCoast
of NSW.

Thanks heaps

I looked in my Aussie Plant finder and it says that there are 2 nurseries
which have this variety (or at least they describe it as being 'Hawaian
Gold'). these nuseries a
Tropiculture Australia in the NT ph no; 08 8988 1119 - they don't do mail
order but if you are in the NT it may help, and
Pembroke Gardens Pembrooke NSW, ph no 02 6585 9329 and they will do mail
order.

Bear in mind that this publication is now a few years old.

Thanks!! Uh oh, the Pembroke one is only about 30 mins away and I
didn't even know about it! (crawling under the desk) LOL I'll phone
them and post the results, that way it might help other people too.

Thanks again for all the help.
