Default Passion Fruit - When to pick

The message
from "Drakanthus" contains these words:
I have a passion flower that has borne a huge number of fruit. Most of

the
fruit are now orange in colour. I have left them on the plant as I

thought
they went brown and crinkly with dry skins (as you buy them in the shops),
but some are starting to turn mouldy. Any tips?

Why not try one and see if it is ripe?
The ornamental passion flowers are really grown for their flowers rather
than their fruits, however I tried some of mine last year when they were
orange and enjoyed them. Nice with ice cream.


I have some granadillo vines grown from seed. Closely related to
passionfruit - anyone know if they are hardy enough to grow outside?
