Lidl (of all places!) was selling them a while back... Grenadilla is one of several species of Passion fruit So I see, but when I think of passion fruit (at least what goes by that name here) it's quite different. There are dozens of different edible varieties cultivated for their fruit, all different shapes and sizes. the ones we get in supermarkets are the ones that are easiest to transport and store. We are just eating our way through the last of the banana passion fruits from P antioquiensis, sadly much of the fruit still green and outside at the time of the frost will not ripen, but we still have some indoor fruits to come. But they only last a few days off the plant -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
