Hawaiian Passionfruit
"HC" wrote in message ... 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 |

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

See here... http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%...ssionfruit.htm 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. Bronwyn ;-) David Hare-Scott wrote: "George W.

Hawaiian Passionfruit
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.

Bronwyn ;-) 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 |

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 ;-) 0tterbot wrote: "HC" wrote in message ...

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. Tish On Jan 1, 3:03 pm, HC wrote: No, Kylie....Banana Passionfruit are elongated and Hawaiian's are round.

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

LOL 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. Bronwyn ;-) FarmI wrote: "HC" wrote in message No, Kylie....Banana Passionfruit are elongated and Hawaiian's are round.
