Interesting. In Australia, the purple ones are known as passionfruit and the yellow ones as banana passionfruit. The latter come from P. mollissima which is too tender to grow outdoors here. We have it here in a greenhouse and it has fruited but whether it ripens is another matter. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
