sternus1 says... Joanna when it comes to passionfruit, don't over think it. Plant them in some cheapo potting mix backfill which contains citrus/fruit fertiliser (slow release). If you want to go organic, bury a whole liver beneath the plant before planting. Just let it run wild and it will do fine, they pretty much take care of themselves. s | About the Author sternus1 Australia 3rd December 2013 10:41am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

KitschWitch says... Good drainage will keep the vines growing well--a raised bed or mound. They are heavy feeders (manure, dynamic lifter etc are good) and organic matter e.g. compost. Not sure how this variety goes with viruses? Some varieties only survive for a few years in which case pruning isn't necessary. The main downside of not pruning is that the vine will get bigger and bigger with the fruits on the edges. Up to you if that's a problem. They are good on a pergola, or any kind of trellising, e.g. 10cm wire mesh. | About the Author KitschWitch Canberra 4th December 2013 11:59pm #UserID: 8179 Posts: 18 View All KitschWitch's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Getting them started is easy but giving them enough space and getting them to fruit is harder.It has been trumpeted from the rooftops forever, don't overdo nitrogen fertilisers and make sure there is enough of the other macronutrients.That is if you want fruit.I am once again trying to germinate Passiflora nitida and numerous failed attemps. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 9th December 2013 8:19am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |
