My best friend went to the farmer's market last year (as she is prone to do), and picked up a few passion fruits. She knows that if she bumps into anything that is Passiflora related; buy it. We enjoyed the fruit and saved a number of the seeds. I decided to plant some, pick the strongest seedling, and let it climb up the block wall and fence behind my house.
That was last year. This year the P. edulis has grown over the fence and is growing monster leaves. There are no signs of buds for flowers and subsequently fruit, but I'm going to have to check both sides of the fence come late summer to make sure I can collect what deliciousness that may sprout. Three months of summer coming right up!
