Passiflora edulis for mild west coast temps??
Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestion of varieties of Passiflora edulis (Passion Fruit) that do well on the west coast? I live in Santa Monica, CA a few miles from the beach so the tempearute is very mild. It never freezes and doesn't break 80 very much. I am currently growing Passiflora edulis 'Frederick'. It makes tasty fruit but it doesn't grow or flower except July-September. The rest of the year it just sits there. I think Frederick must need more heat to grow well (our tomato plants never grow either). I have a Passiflora incarnata that grows vigourously, flowers, and fruits prolifically for the whole year but the fruit are inedible. Is there a P. edulis that grows as well as P. incarnata? Sean |

Why don't you just go away, slash your wrists, drink some hemlock or something useful like that? |
