When you harvest your lilikoi, will you make a video of cutting one open so we can see the inside? Will the giant passion fruit grow on the mainland where the climate is mild?
South Florida, the Keys and maybe better spots in San Diego, CA would support the plant. An unheated greenhouse might push it as far north as coastal central California. This one is much more tropical than the Passiflora edulis we call Lilikoi. The Yellow or Purple Lilikoi grow easily as far north as San Francisco.

Hi, I have planted one, but I don't know how often it has to be watered. I also had it sitting under direct sunlight and notice that the leaves were drying up very fast. Now I relocated it to a more shaded place. Thanks in advance for your answer.
In Hawaii we plant this vine in full sun. It will tolerate some shade but only if it has sunlight up higher it can climb to. Here I never water the vines if they are in the ground. They will do fine under ambient rain fall. In nursery containers I water a few times per week if the rains stop. If the rain is normal once per week will usually keep the pots moist. If the leaves were burning I can come up with three or four possible causes. The plant may have been grown under shady conditions and wasn't adjusted to the full sun yet. The plant was over fertilized with a high salt fertilizer or a manure. The original soil the plant was grown in was going dry in between watering even if the surrounding earth appeared wet. The plant was being kept too wet causing the roots to rot off. I realize this is a lot of ground to cover but the cause would be one of more of these most likely. If all is well the plant would not burn leaves because of sunshine.
If a potted plant has been over fertilized I usually try to remove any visible pellets then I just leach the container with water for days on end. This will usually flush out the rest. As long as the roots were not burned away from the fertilizer the leaves will regrow. If the roots were burned things are more to chance. I suggest using light doses of time release fertilizer in containers. I use a 12 month release Osmocote in the nursery and after thousands of applications I have yet to burn a single plant.
Actually I grow the vine both ways, cuttings for large plants and seeds for little ones. They all sell in the nursery. This is an easy plant from cuttings though. Places where I dumped the trash from pruning have come up to cuttings on their own.
G’day from the big island (Australia 😊). I’ve just acquired some P. quadrangularis seed and I’d hoped you’d have a germination video...I couldn’t find one. Do you scarify the seed using sandpaper do you think? Thank you, I really enjoy your videos.
Fresh seeds usually germinate quickly, about 2 weeks. IF the seed is old and dry then scarification and hot water treatment helps. I do only one video about this process for the Hawaiian Koa tree. It applies to Passion fruit too. ruclips.net/video/rDjE7eIIiSE/видео.html&ab_channel=GreenGardenGuy1
I generally use BEI or Nursery Things for Pro-Mix because of price but Ace Hardware will often have a coupon for discount that makes them cheaper. Any other grow supply store in town has the stuff though.
They should work out fine. Outside the native range that plant is considered an invasive species because it takes root every place the stem touches earth.
I had mine on a low trellis made of guava wood and let the climb in the apple bananas. Things worked well by pulling the vines down and wrapping them in the trellis. Last week I tore everything out so I could build a new nursery table. I replanted the vines in a new area but them the damn hogs broke in screwed everything up. I like the juice, it is about the same sugar and acid as orange juice.
Florida let's them grow up into the oak trees. They will fall when ripe with no bruising. I don't know about the big ones though, first I heard of them.
Great and clear video Bill, I live in madagascar, tried to get roots on passion fruit cuttings by putting them in a glass of water.. they died, just rotted away.. ill try it straight into a pot this time thanks to u:) can u sell me a variety of seeds?
Yes, I have quite a few interesting seeds at the moment and others seasonally. I know how difficult it can be to locate certain varieties. You can contact me through my email at greengardenservice@yahoo.com for more information on seeds. Thanks for the feed back and I am glad I may be able to help get things off to a better start for your next cuttings. In commercial plant propagation the only plants that ever get started in water are aquatic plants for fish ponds. Even those usually have some sort of medium around the cutting. Aloha, Bill
When I try to grow green non-woody (the ends) cuttings of other vine species such as CA wild grape or wild cucumber they die on me. In the case of wild cucumber here the entire vine green and thin coming out of the soil to the tips so I can't get a woody cutting anywhere. Do you have any advice on this or are some vine species just unable to root from cuttings?
In the case of the California river grape (Vitis californica) the plant is easy from dormant hard wood cuttings. I usually get near 100% success if cuttings are struck in winter. Since grapes are so easy to root I suspect a soft wood cutting might work but it would require mist and bottom heat for good results. Hard wood is much easier and the grapes were dormant when I was in CA earlier this week. So no time like the present. You are correct, not all plants work from cuttings. Most members of the cucumber family are propagated from seeds. Wild cucumber set plenty of them. Some are native and others are generally considered an invasive species in CA. Other than seeds I believe air layering would work on cucumber. Good luck, Bill

I sell plants if you live here in the Islands or when I have seeds I ship to the mainland USA. Shipping live plants off of Hawaii is more trouble than it is worth.
The vine is probably about the same weight but the fruit is much heavier. The regular passion fruit probably fruit 25 small fruit for every one of the Giant type. I haven't had a lot of trouble with weight. I use a trellis of Strawberry guava wood and then let the vines spill onto some Apple Banana.
I have a few rooted. Do you want them rooted or unrooted? I also have seeds. Whether it is seeds or cuttings depends on your location. CA, AZ, TX, and LA all prohibit shipments with simple Hawaiian inspections. If you live in any of those 4 states I can only provide seeds.
Any chance this one can be grown in a pot and flower/ hold fruit? I have 2 tropical passion fruit plants indoors under LED lights, flowering and fruiting. I also have a maypop outside that comes back on its own in zone 7a.
Where there is a will there is a way. It is always possible but I probably wouldn't bother. The plants are huge and have a low yield. It takes a lot of vine and leaf square footage to produce a single fruit. Some of the hybrid passion fruit would be better. They produce fruit earlier and far more fruit per sq. foot. The Hybrid between P. edulis & P. laurifolia is one of the finest on earth. Best taste, great appearance and incredible production in short time span.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I did see that the vine does get huge and needs to be cross pollinated to set fruit, was hoping the pot size would limit the roots and force flowering without necessarily getting too huge but I haven't read too much into this. My edulis and mollissima vines are in 10.5in pots so definitely rootbound but produce well. If anything I'd be content with just getting blooms being that the flower is huge and interesting to look at. Will look into the hybrid you mentioned, thank you for the suggestion!
@@raregrowsNJ The giant does not require cross pollination. The flowers aren't good for bees though. Humming bird moths do good work. Cramping to limit growth generally produces low grade fruit. These plants are huge and require a lot of foliage square footage to develop sugar for flavor. The P. edulis x P. laurifolia is found here on this Island. I believe it originated here. No one I have met has put a name on it.
I've one growing next to our maple tree in South Florida, climbing on it, almost 25/30ft high. It hasn't flowered in the 2 yrs since I have it. Any tips to make it flower/fruit? Does watering/fertilizing/pruning helps?
Consider turning the vines to the side. This will help build carbohydrate for flowers. Pruning a foot or so from the tips of the vines in early spring may also help. If all else fails try a high phosphorous fertilizer like a rose and flower food.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Thank you for your response, it is really helpful. So by turning the vine to the side, do you mean to pull it back from the tree and lay it horizontal on a trellis or fence?
@@sjakajaka1978 Yes. Vertical growth encourages vertical growth. Horizontal growth induces flowering. This is true on climbing roses, Blackberries, apple pears and many other plants.
A bit of advice for you on horticultural nomenclature. If you intend to correct others use of language it is best to stick to scientific Latin. That is the only place where names can be right or wrong. When speaking common tongue the names of plants are different from area to area and language to language. In Latin this plant is called Passiflora quadrangularis. All plants in the genus Passiflora can properly be called Passion Fruit when speaking American English. In Hawaii this is called Lilikoi. The names you use are of Spanish and French origin. They are correct. Your error was claiming the fruit isn't named Passion fruit. It is, in my language. Aloha
If you feel you need to use a hormone feel free. My point is that you do not need to. Under certain conditions it causes the vine to root out but drop the leaves.
You can find this is small bottles on nursery shelves. I buy it by the 50 pound sack at BEI Fertilizers in Hilo. www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/osmocote-14-14-14-fertilizer/time-released-fertilizers
I sell seeds for the plant but I won't have a fresh crop until summer. I had to remove the plant in the video to expand the nursery. I replanted in a new location but the vine has just reached fruiting age. The seeds will be on my sales page at www.greengardenservice.net when i have some again.
I used the same medium to propagate P. ligularis as with P. quadrangularis. Their needs are similar. In containers I use Pro Mix HP. In the field I use native earth with a bit of chicken compost added on top. My rain fall is over 120" here so you may not need the HP (High Porosity) Pro Mix. In a drier climate the regular porosity will do.
Hello sir, I am from india.i have giant passion fruit plant.plant is 2-3fit.our plant flowers are drop down.and on leaves have brown dots.what should I do now.i worried about my plant.please guide me.
@@diptipotphode5429 I am a horticulturist, not a psychic. With the limited information of brown spots and falling flowers I can only make an obvious guess. If it is some other sort of issue like a bacteria, fungus or lack of pollinators than the solution would be different but more exact data would be required to make any further guesses. A series of high resolution photos, careful verbal descriptions and some back story would be needed. I suspect my first guess is right and making cuttings of the vine would be the only solution. Propagation of prized plants is a great idea. If you have three you can let the bugs and the weather have two but there will still be one left for the gardener.
I do sell the seeds for this plant but I am currently out of stock. I anticipate a fresh crop in mid summer. You can find my seed listings at www.greengardenservice.net Check in and the seed should naturally list as the fresh stuff comes.
The guava wood trellis I had mine on collapsed the other day. My ankle still hurts and addressing it isn't happening. Come on by and help me stake it up, I'll share cuttings.
I have never propagated this vine. I sold plenty of them in CA that were grown from cuttings by propagators. All data I can find indicates that seeds, cuttings or air layers are propagation techniques for the plant. Do you get other common plants to work from cuttings under your growing conditions? A sterile medium, herbaceous cutting, hormone and a shaded location with bottom heat are required. When all else fails either grow the seeds or air layer the vine.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I tried hibiscus and it worked but it wasn't a sterile medium, I used cinnamon for rooting, only the aristolochia cuttings rot, now I'm trying to propagate the giant lilikoi, I have four cuttings in peat moss, another one in a giant pot where my blackberry are, another in bottled water and another one in a pot with leaf medium
I've had no luck with aristolochia cuttings even though I live in a warm humid climate and have a temperature controlled greenhouse. I've tried in soil and also in a cloner. They seem to be pretty difficult. They didn't die in the cloner but just sat there for weeks and didn't root.
I do not grow aristolochia. There are dozens of species and i suspect they vary when taken from cuttings. I have sold the plants in California for years and i know the grower produced them from cuttings. You mentioned you had them for weeks in a cloner. If the cuttings are not dead then rooting is still to occur in time. Weeks with some plants is a short time for root production. All the second hand material on the web indicates that soft wood cuttings will root using a rooting hormone in an inert media of perlite with vermiculite and milled sphagnum at 75 degrees with bottom heat and mist. If this information is correct then it means they are not partiularly easy to root. Are you trying to do this commercially or just for a free plant? If it is just for the plant why don't you just try pegging the vine? It should be more reliable.
The vines I am using for cuttings were 2 years old from seeds. I took the cuttings were to keep them from eating my nursery alive. This is a very fast growing plant in the right climate.
Good luck on that idea. These are fully tropical vines and tend not to adapt to less than tropical conditions. In the UK I would consider Passiflora edulis or P. incarnata instead. The first is risky but the second will succeed.
These vines produce extremely large fruit and I believe the plant self thins in order that it doesn't over load it's self. It is also possible you do not have pollinators in your area that like this plant. See if hand pollination helps. I would not count my success by what drops off. I would count what remains. I have never seen more than 6 fruit at a time ripening on my plant.
@@emadsaleh8311 Late reply but just in case anyone else wants to know here's my answer. I live in the desert and in the heat I need to water every day. If it goes over 105 Fahrenheit, I water twice a day. But it does depend on how well your soil drains. Use a wooden dowel to poke the soil and if it comes out wet, you've watered too much. If it's damp, it's just right and if it's dry, water more. Good luck.
If you live in Hawaii I can sell you the fruit. I can't ship it off Island though. If you meant the plants I do have them in the nursery but I try to stay away from mailing them. I have seeds for the plant on my website. www.greengardenservice.net
Your question is an incomplete sentence and doesn't have specific meaning. I'm not wanting to watch my entire video to try and understand what you are asking. I will guess that you might refer to suggestion on soil mix for cuttings? If so it is because all three ingredients have different functions and together they make an excellent medium, alone not so good. Just buy a seed starting mix, it is ready to go and you won't have to worry about recipes.
I sell them from the farm here in Mountain View, Hawaii. Sometimes i see them show up at farmers markets in the Islands. Other than these two methods of acquiring the fruit growing your own is the only other choice.

There is only one member of the Passion Fruit family (Lilkoi) that I know will grow in zone 7, Passiflora incarnata, the Maypop. It will grow in most places from zones 5 to 10. I believe it is the only member of the family that is hardy enough for you to grow. I do not have this plant because I am in zone 11 but it is pretty easy to find from mail order sources like One Green World and others.
I actually do not know the answer to this question. It would take an expert on Passiflora genetics. My guess is that crossing different Passiflora is possible we have several well know hybrids out there in the flowering passion vines. I suspect that Passiflora edulis is more suitable as a cross for the Maypop because it is a closer relative.
This is probably why no one has made the cross. In locations where the Giant Passion fruit will grow there are dozens of other excellent passion fruit. We don't use the Maypop. In places where the maypop grows the other passion fruits will not survive.
I tried this courtesy you and three weeks later, my babies are properly rooted and thriving. Thanks from Tobago!

Do sell cuttings from passion fruit
I sell plants if you live here in the Islands or when I have seeds I ship to the mainland USA. Shipping live plants off of Hawaii is more trouble than it is worth.
why does passion fruit have a problem with rooting hormone?
That depends on who you talk to. In my experience, yes. The treated cutting often make all roots and drop the leaves. Untreated remain balanced.
How long does it take to fruit when grown by seed? When grown by a mature cutting, will it fruit faster?
How long depends on your climate and care as a gardener. In Hawaii seeds fruit in about 2 years and cuttings in about 1.5 years.
so i just noticed that the leaves from the giant vs the traditional are very different..interesting..were to plant them mmm they look heavy..
The vine is probably about the same weight but the fruit is much heavier. The regular passion fruit probably fruit 25 small fruit for every one of the Giant type. I haven't had a lot of trouble with weight. I use a trellis of Strawberry guava wood and then let the vines spill onto some Apple Banana.
Someone is sending me stem cuttings of this fruit. She says it will take about a week to reach my destination, do you have any idea, will it survive?
It depends on how they pack the cutting. If it is done well it will survive.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 thanks.🙏

Please let me know how could I get some cuttings of giant passion fruits thank you
I have a few rooted. Do you want them rooted or unrooted? I also have seeds. Whether it is seeds or cuttings depends on your location. CA, AZ, TX, and LA all prohibit shipments with simple Hawaiian inspections. If you live in any of those 4 states I can only provide seeds.
Yes please send me seeds I live in CA so If you send me seeds . Let me know how to get some good seeds from you. Thank you for the reply
Any chance this one can be grown in a pot and flower/ hold fruit? I have 2 tropical passion fruit plants indoors under LED lights, flowering and fruiting. I also have a maypop outside that comes back on its own in zone 7a.
Where there is a will there is a way. It is always possible but I probably wouldn't bother. The plants are huge and have a low yield. It takes a lot of vine and leaf square footage to produce a single fruit. Some of the hybrid passion fruit would be better. They produce fruit earlier and far more fruit per sq. foot. The Hybrid between P. edulis & P. laurifolia is one of the finest on earth. Best taste, great appearance and incredible production in short time span.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I did see that the vine does get huge and needs to be cross pollinated to set fruit, was hoping the pot size would limit the roots and force flowering without necessarily getting too huge but I haven't read too much into this. My edulis and mollissima vines are in 10.5in pots so definitely rootbound but produce well. If anything I'd be content with just getting blooms being that the flower is huge and interesting to look at. Will look into the hybrid you mentioned, thank you for the suggestion!
@@raregrowsNJ The giant does not require cross pollination. The flowers aren't good for bees though. Humming bird moths do good work.
Cramping to limit growth generally produces low grade fruit. These plants are huge and require a lot of foliage square footage to develop sugar for flavor.
The P. edulis x P. laurifolia is found here on this Island. I believe it originated here. No one I have met has put a name on it.
I've one growing next to our maple tree in South Florida, climbing on it, almost 25/30ft high. It hasn't flowered in the 2 yrs since I have it. Any tips to make it flower/fruit? Does watering/fertilizing/pruning helps?
Consider turning the vines to the side. This will help build carbohydrate for flowers. Pruning a foot or so from the tips of the vines in early spring may also help. If all else fails try a high phosphorous fertilizer like a rose and flower food.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Thank you for your response, it is really helpful. So by turning the vine to the side, do you mean to pull it back from the tree and lay it horizontal on a trellis or fence?
@@sjakajaka1978 Yes. Vertical growth encourages vertical growth. Horizontal growth induces flowering. This is true on climbing roses, Blackberries, apple pears and many other plants.
This is not passion fruit. This a fruit called barbadine or granadilla.
A bit of advice for you on horticultural nomenclature. If you intend to correct others use of language it is best to stick to scientific Latin. That is the only place where names can be right or wrong. When speaking common tongue the names of plants are different from area to area and language to language. In Latin this plant is called Passiflora quadrangularis. All plants in the genus Passiflora can properly be called Passion Fruit when speaking American English. In Hawaii this is called Lilikoi. The names you use are of Spanish and French origin. They are correct. Your error was claiming the fruit isn't named Passion fruit. It is, in my language. Aloha
How long does it take them to give fruits?
Depends on the climate, culture and local growing conditions. Here in Hawaii it usually fruits in about two years.
Another video showed that he used rooting hormones and it worked as well.
If you feel you need to use a hormone feel free. My point is that you do not need to. Under certain conditions it causes the vine to root out but drop the leaves.
Nice video, can you put a link to your fertilizer?? thanks!
You can find this is small bottles on nursery shelves. I buy it by the 50 pound sack at BEI Fertilizers in Hilo.

I had never seeing Lilikoi that huge, love them. Where can I buy some of these lilikoi, I will love to have them in my house in Hawaii
I have both seeds and plants on the Big Island. Contact me at my email for more information. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
We call that sangop tabai in Kadazan. Borneo.
Here they are usually called giant Lilikoi.
What area do you live, just curious?
I live in the Puna district on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Where Can i get this kind of plant. Or can you send me some cuttings
I sell seeds for the plant but I won't have a fresh crop until summer. I had to remove the plant in the video to expand the nursery. I replanted in a new location but the vine has just reached fruiting age. The seeds will be on my sales page at www.greengardenservice.net when i have some again.
@greengardenguy what kind a soil mix can i use for passion fruit ligularis do you know? thank you.
I used the same medium to propagate P. ligularis as with P. quadrangularis. Their needs are similar. In containers I use Pro Mix HP. In the field I use native earth with a bit of chicken compost added on top. My rain fall is over 120" here so you may not need the HP (High Porosity) Pro Mix. In a drier climate the regular porosity will do.
GreenGardenGuy1 thank you sir.
GreenGardenGuy1 thanks
Hello sir,
I am from india.i have giant passion fruit plant.plant is 2-3fit.our plant flowers are drop down.and on leaves have brown dots.what should I do now.i worried about my plant.please guide me.
It sounds like damage to the roots. I would make some cutting for the vine. this will be the only way to save the plant from root death.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Thank u for your reply.i want to save my plant.any other way to save my plant.please suggest.any fertilizer
@@diptipotphode5429 I am a horticulturist, not a psychic. With the limited information of brown spots and falling flowers I can only make an obvious guess. If it is some other sort of issue like a bacteria, fungus or lack of pollinators than the solution would be different but more exact data would be required to make any further guesses. A series of high resolution photos, careful verbal descriptions and some back story would be needed. I suspect my first guess is right and making cuttings of the vine would be the only solution. Propagation of prized plants is a great idea. If you have three you can let the bugs and the weather have two but there will still be one left for the gardener.
Where can i buy some seeds of this giant passion fruit
I do sell the seeds for this plant but I am currently out of stock. I anticipate a fresh crop in mid summer. You can find my seed listings at www.greengardenservice.net Check in and the seed should naturally list as the fresh stuff comes.
damn I need one of those too! Gonna need more land soon!
The guava wood trellis I had mine on collapsed the other day. My ankle still hurts and addressing it isn't happening. Come on by and help me stake it up, I'll share cuttings.
sure thing. just tell me when and where and I'll be there.
You can contact through my email. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
how many months does it give sir fruits sir
Really depends on your climate. At 1600 feet in HI it usually takes me a couple to three years for fruit. The fruit is huge but not numerous.
How can I propagate a plant of aristolochia littoralis? I tried green cuttings and they die everytime, they turn black
I have never propagated this vine. I sold plenty of them in CA that were grown from cuttings by propagators. All data I can find indicates that seeds, cuttings or air layers are propagation techniques for the plant. Do you get other common plants to work from cuttings under your growing conditions? A sterile medium, herbaceous cutting, hormone and a shaded location with bottom heat are required. When all else fails either grow the seeds or air layer the vine.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I tried hibiscus and it worked but it wasn't a sterile medium, I used cinnamon for rooting, only the aristolochia cuttings rot, now I'm trying to propagate the giant lilikoi, I have four cuttings in peat moss, another one in a giant pot where my blackberry are, another in bottled water and another one in a pot with leaf medium
I use a single medium for rooting everything except vanilla orchids. In a bale it is called Pro-mix. It contains milled sphagnum peat and perlite.
I've had no luck with aristolochia cuttings even though I live in a warm humid climate and have a temperature controlled greenhouse. I've tried in soil and also in a cloner. They seem to be pretty difficult. They didn't die in the cloner but just sat there for weeks and didn't root.
I do not grow aristolochia. There are dozens of species and i suspect they vary when taken from cuttings. I have sold the plants in California for years and i know the grower produced them from cuttings. You mentioned you had them for weeks in a cloner. If the cuttings are not dead then rooting is still to occur in time. Weeks with some plants is a short time for root production. All the second hand material on the web indicates that soft wood cuttings will root using a rooting hormone in an inert media of perlite with vermiculite and milled sphagnum at 75 degrees with bottom heat and mist. If this information is correct then it means they are not partiularly easy to root. Are you trying to do this commercially or just for a free plant? If it is just for the plant why don't you just try pegging the vine? It should be more reliable.
I would love to buy a cutting. I'm on the East side!
I have them potted in one gallon containers, but if you want unrooted cuttings I can provide them too.
Lol I've grown these from seeds, it going to take ages to get to this size. Couldnt find anyone selling passion anywhere!
The vines I am using for cuttings were 2 years old from seeds. I took the cuttings were to keep them from eating my nursery alive. This is a very fast growing plant in the right climate.
GreenGardenGuy1 unfortunately the weather in uk isn’t the best, I figured if I grow them from seed they will become more hardy to the weather
Good luck on that idea. These are fully tropical vines and tend not to adapt to less than tropical conditions. In the UK I would consider Passiflora edulis or P. incarnata instead. The first is risky but the second will succeed.
I have one vining like crazy an started to flowers some of the flowers fall off
These vines produce extremely large fruit and I believe the plant self thins in order that it doesn't over load it's self. It is also possible you do not have pollinators in your area that like this plant. See if hand pollination helps. I would not count my success by what drops off. I would count what remains. I have never seen more than 6 fruit at a time ripening on my plant.
How to put water every day or what? How. ?I do it doesn't work with me
I do not water. The rain takes care of the plants.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I live in middle east. .....the weather is hot
@@emadsaleh8311 Water as needed for your climate.
@@emadsaleh8311 Late reply but just in case anyone else wants to know here's my answer. I live in the desert and in the heat I need to water every day. If it goes over 105 Fahrenheit, I water twice a day. But it does depend on how well your soil drains. Use a wooden dowel to poke the soil and if it comes out wet, you've watered too much. If it's damp, it's just right and if it's dry, water more. Good luck.
Do you sell those giant passion fruits? i'll buy you 💵
If you live in Hawaii I can sell you the fruit. I can't ship it off Island though. If you meant the plants I do have them in the nursery but I try to stay away from mailing them. I have seeds for the plant on my website. www.greengardenservice.net
Why three parts?
Your question is an incomplete sentence and doesn't have specific meaning. I'm not wanting to watch my entire video to try and understand what you are asking. I will guess that you might refer to suggestion on soil mix for cuttings? If so it is because all three ingredients have different functions and together they make an excellent medium, alone not so good. Just buy a seed starting mix, it is ready to go and you won't have to worry about recipes.
Hello where can I buy those giant passion fruit?
I sell them from the farm here in Mountain View, Hawaii. Sometimes i see them show up at farmers markets in the Islands. Other than these two methods of acquiring the fruit growing your own is the only other choice.
ok I would liked to buy some plants
I have both 3.5" pot size grown from seeds and one gallon pot size raised from cuttings. You are welcome to drop by and pick up either. Contact me at greengardenservice@yahoo.com for more details.

Thank you.
hi how are u how can I get seed for this tree Iam from jordan
Aloha, Thanks for watching the video. I do sell the seeds for this plant on my website but currently I am sold out until late summer. I generally do not ship seed outside the USA. Complications, high postal rates and border customs all make international sales a terrible problem. IF you make contact with me through the website comments in late summer we can try to make a special arrangement for you to receive seeds.

GreenGardenGuy1 thank u very mutch i have freind in usa from jordan i will call him to contact u.
will lillykio grow zone 7
There is only one member of the Passion Fruit family (Lilkoi) that I know will grow in zone 7, Passiflora incarnata, the Maypop. It will grow in most places from zones 5 to 10. I believe it is the only member of the family that is hardy enough for you to grow. I do not have this plant because I am in zone 11 but it is pretty easy to find from mail order sources like One Green World and others.
do u think this would cross with maypop
I actually do not know the answer to this question. It would take an expert on Passiflora genetics. My guess is that crossing different Passiflora is possible we have several well know hybrids out there in the flowering passion vines. I suspect that Passiflora edulis is more suitable as a cross for the Maypop because it is a closer relative.
+GreenGardenGuy1 well my be I can try it this year as soon as I get some flowers
Good luck
+GreenGardenGuy1 thank you. hardest part for me will be getting pollen I'm from Pennsylvania
This is probably why no one has made the cross. In locations where the Giant Passion fruit will grow there are dozens of other excellent passion fruit. We don't use the Maypop. In places where the maypop grows the other passion fruits will not survive.
