Is Passiflora ligularis good? (forum)

Mike Tr starts with ...
I ate a few Passiflora ligularis today and are they good? You betcha!
They are less acid than edulisor flavicarpa and would appeal to many.The pale grey pulplooks unusual.Unfortunately theyarebetter in sub tropical climates than in my tropical location and I rely on high altitude friends for fruit.

They look like the variety they grow in Bali, soft egg like shell? and very very sweet. I have some vines starting to pick up now, don't know how long they take to fruit. Beautiful large heart shaped leaves, you would be forgiven for not recognising the leaves as Passiflora. Can post up some pics tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Nice, I have some advanced vines in the poly house that I'm planting out today. This is it growing over an A. Cacans seedling.

Does anybody out there have some seeds of these passionfruit they could share?
I've found some O/S but would rather 'locals'.

I'm very happy to pay postage.

Thanks for all the information. Always is great to learn about new edible plant possibilities.
