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

I heard this quesion on a radio show. 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.

How obscene. No porn on this group, Please!

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
