Passionfruit Vine- Live or RIP ! ? (forum)

Ian starts with ...
We had the best passionfruit vine ever! The fruit produced tasted amazing, some the size of a cricket ball-seriouslly! Approx 2-3 years old tops, it bascially got 'top heavy' and pulled the cheap plastic lattice off the fence, along with the vine. As you can see from the pictures I have pruned it back to it's bare existance, replaced the lattice with heavy duty reo (which I should have done in the first place!). The base of the vine is relatively think, approx 6" round.
I am wondering will it come back on, or should I just cut my losses, rip it out and start again??

Hi Ian, passionfruit don't like too much water, it will kill them. I'd fertilize it with a (P) & (K) fertilizer, cover the area with Gypsum & Dolomite, then mulch heavily. Water that in gently.
