Am about to try another passionfruit in my cold climate. I haven't tried to
grow one for many years and even then the poor thing was knowcked off by the
cold before got it's adult teeth.
So, does a passionfruit need to be pollinated by another pssionfruit or can
I get by with one plant? (Assuming of course that I can get it to live). |

Where in oz are you ?
I'm in Perth and have never had a problem planting passionfruit.
It grows well in our soil which is horrible out the back. Where I am
on the coast it gets quite cold at night down at around 3 degrees and
by day its gusty most of the time. We don't even bother with fertliser
on these as they seem to grow really well. |
