Passionfruit
I have a bush which has plenty of flowers but no sign of fruit.
Should their be two types of flowers on the bush ie; male & female. Any help appreciated, Robby |

They said that passionfruit don't have male and female, but do need to be pollinated. If this has not happened, you can use a paint brush and do it yourself. Robyn. |

The actual fact is that young passion vines rarely produce fruit the first
time They grow rapidly in all directions but aren't really mature enough to produce fruit for the first year or so You DON'T need 2 vines at all Just be a little patient and usually the Autumn crop will hold or the crop the following season. Use a little rose fertilizer and plenty of water but don't prune too much in the first year or so!! Cheers Mark "Kevin Jordan" wrote in message om.au... Robyn wrote: "Robby" wrote in message ...

forget the hand pollination unless absolutely necessary (no bees) it's a question of maturity Cheers "Robby" wrote in message ... "Mark" wrote in message ...
