Passionfruit vine


When I was a kid, every second backyard had a passionfruit vine. They're much harder to find now. I grew them once, but after a couple of seasons the fruit went woody and failed.

Where once we plucked passionfruit from our own laden vines, now they cost upwayds of $1.60 each at the supermarket.

I was thrilled to come across this vine on a recent walk.

  1. I tried to grow a passion fruit vine once, but catterpilars did't allow me. There were dozens under each leaf. I finally gave up.
