New found passionfruit vine (forum)

Cassie starts with ...
I am having difficulty with this passionfruit vine. I have just bought the house and discovered the vine.
It flowers alot but the fruit are orange with red pulp and very soft, and so far Ive only seen 2. Ive read that it could be a blue crown passionfruit stock that has taken over, but I need help.
The stems are purple in colour, especially the stem that comes out on the right. Is this the grafted on part? Shoud I cut off somewhere? Also, there are lots of other shoots coming out of the ground along the fenceline. They are all purple stemmed shoots.
What should I do?

hi cassie
the graft would be on the left stem
somewhere above the right stem but my not be visible anymore.
if you want to keep the grafted plant growing then cut of the stem on the right and remove it along with all its
folage. the shoots coming out of the
ground are suckers from the rootstock
dont disturb the roots by pulling them out by hand or you will encourage even more suckers. just snip them of at ground level with scissors.
