please help my husband with passion
 
We live in Florida, and have many, many passion vines that do not
create fruit, but this year my husband bought an edible passion fruit
vine...it flowers and produces lime colored and sized fruit, but they
are hollow inside. what's up?
thanks,

With a subject line like that you'll probably get a lot of spam trying
to sell Viagra ;-).

Sounds like a May-pop. They have very pretty flowers. Grow small
green fruit with covered seeds. The covering of the seed is edible.
They get their name here in Alabama from the sound they make if stepped
on (like in the month of May).

Isn't there folklore that you should have planted a dead animal in the hole
along with your passionfruit vine? So keep an eye out for some roadkill.
