grow Passionfruit like a professional- use a trellis [grafted Panama Red]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2017
- Growing passionfruit is easy and requires minimal attention. To grow like a professional, use a trellis to promote the vertical height of the vine.
A trellis is cheap and easy to setup. The results will reward you for years to come. Grafted vines are most common, but any vine will work.
plant info: Nelly Kelly Panama Red- Passiflora caerulea (rootstock), Passiflora edulis-panama red (scion)

As a kid we used to take out a little of the passion fruit and then top it up with condensed mild.. Heavenly!!
I'm going to attempt to grow this in the UK. An old neighbour used to have one that grew up and over our adjoining fence and we had delicious free passion fruits for a couple of years. The got nowhere near as big as these though! Really hoping I can get them to thrive. Great tips, thank you!
I miss eating passion fruit. Watching from Canada. First time to see grafted passion fruit.
Thanks for the video. Honestly it is the first time I see the passion fruit being put into a root stock. They can generally be propagated via cuttings (at least that is how I propagated them). And they grow absolutely huge this way as well. The passion fruit vine has a life span of 3-4 years on average. So when you notice that your passion vine loses vigor cut a nice looking branch and put it into a pot mix. It will root in about a week. After that you can plant it and it will develop in the same exact tree.
you are welcome my friend. great comment.
this is the best performing vine i have ever grown. same lifespan . im in a coastal area that gets some cold wind, which seems to be harsh on seedlings . some vines drop flowers, others stay stunted- which is why i tried grafted this time.
i will try the cutting method for the next video, you have woken my curiosity.
thanks for watching. [apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
this is the species; Passiflora caerulea (rootstock), Passiflora edulis-panama red (scion)
GARDEN channel do you trim you vines back yearly?
CaseHeads G i prune back every 2 yrs. just the old woody branches. a quick fertilize at the same time too, usually in winter/spring.
@@CyberGardens Magre hi there, I have tried many cuttings but it wont grow roots. is there ay specific passion fruit that I can root from cutting because the one Im trying to root from just wont work.
Great video! I love passionfruit, and was very happy when we moved from Queensland to Victoria in 1968 to find that this tropical plant would grow there. And we had a Nelly Kelly vine in each house we ever lived in while we were in Victoria. I am not certain, but I think the grafting is needed because of the cold, but it could well be for disease resistance too. In Queensland I can't recall ever seeing grafted passionfruit for sale. I'm now in the Philippines, and was shocked to find that (at least in Laguna province anyway) nobody knows what passionfruit are! I've got half a dozen growing on a home-made arched trellis. I made it with 2 x 8' lengths of 2" weldmesh joined end to end. I then secured one end to the ground with tent pegs. I then brought the other end to within about 5' of the other, and secured it with tent pegs too. Then I hammered some pipes into the ground at the corners and wired them to the arch to hold it upright. The passionfruit love it!!
Something I don't think you mentioned in the video is that passionfruit are a short lived plant. Usually you get no more than five or six years from them, so it's a great idea to plant a new one close by every three years or so. That way when the older plant dies, the newer plant is already mature, ensuring a continuous crop.
excellent comment. thanks for watching.
i have had some issues with seedling vines (flowers drop, fruit rots, plant stunts in size etc) due to my windy and cold southerlys. i now love the grafted vine- i usually get 4-5yrs from a good vine.
spread the passion for passionfruit!
Great . I like the chronological show of growth you showed. That is a lot of passionjuice. I'm growing one soon
Thanks for video , they are certainly awesome to grow and train ; flowers are out of this world !
Thank you for the drawn diagram. Extremely helpful!
Yes right this passion fruit so lovely and wonderful health for all human who needed also many kinds of sickness can be release. God blesses us to take it. Thank for Shaw us this passion fruit.
Your video is very helpful, thank you for taking your time to make this video (: really appreciate this
Nice video I tried growing passionfruit where I live but the frost just nailed it even with frost cover.
I have subscribe your channel .you should subscribe my channel
Awesome! We just purchased a Panama Red for our homestead, this makes variety #5 for our farm. I'm excited about this variety. Thanks for the video, let's grow 🍈👩🏾🌾
Hi i have two other vines but just today bought a PANAMA RED, do you find them sweet ?
Cheers Chris

@@dingydate We haven't tried it yet still on the vine but doing great so far... I'm going to do update video on all our passion fruit tomorrow and post. 🙏🏾
Alot easier to grow by far than other vine varieties dont know why more people aren't growing them they work great as a privacy hedge too!
I live in USA central California and it pretty hot here and it doesn't seem to grow very well here during the hot July summer month so if I grow it then I have to put a screen shade over it and i love your plant thanks for sharing 🙏😍👍😘😀❤❤
I am growing passionfruit here in Texas. The vines are growing very rapidly right now and climbing up the wall of my house. I hope they produce a lot of fruits this year.
How is it going now?
@@Ruby-zq1qs Good they lasted through the winter ok and are starting to grow back again.
Mine growing well but no flower or fruit:((
Wow they are perfect!
In Nicaragua we boil the pulp then blend it, strain it and add water and sugar its delicious and you'll get more juice and no waste 😋😋😋, i planted two vines last week its about 3 ft tall and already flowering and have one fruit, i live in south texas and the tag said its cold hardy so wish me luck 🙏
Your video is very helpful 👍💓
I've planted mine a little far from my fence 😏 will try and guide them onto it.
&
I cultivated Passiflora edulis in large buckets in Germany, and in autumn I harvest my own fruit.
Awesome 😀❤
Fantastic video :)
beautiful job
Wow! My favorite fruit.... Good video 👍
thanks so much
Wow that’s so amazing
Quick question , I put mine on a fence they grow nuts and flower heaps but the fruit don't blacken and they look like curly leaf on the fruit. How do I fix that
thank u sir for showing the gross and net weight. . half of it is pulp. good information
I have 4 flowers right now and like 50 flower sprouts but I have only 1 passion fruit plant so im not sure if I'll get any
good on yer mate for posting this
thanks so much :)
I’m Montagnard Jarai indigenous I just planted passion fruit yesterday hope it will grow well
Nice video.thanks for sharing 😊
I purchased a passion fruit for $4 here in Pennsylvania and saved the seeds for growing, and every one of them it seems has sprouted. Although it's not grafted will I still be able to harvest fruit eventually from these plants in my zone 6B Garden?
I thought half-empty was a normal trait of passion fruit! I’m inspired to grow my own fully-loaded passion fruits.
Try hand pollinating!
Ji ur cell number pls
Seed or plant and address pls kindly answer me
Cheers dude..great vid
I have subscribe your channel .you should subscribe my channel
I would like to see an update on your passion fruit, 3 years on how do you control it's growth?
oh my God!!!!! What a beautiful fruits you have. I also have passion fruits in my backyard but the fruits are medium in size and lighter in colour also some of the small fruits are turning purple with dry and light yellow colour pulp. Please give me some tips how to make them full of beautiful juicy pulp. Thanks
thank you for the nice comments.
i prepared the soil with compost/manure before planting, and used a grafted plant.
you may need to introduce some extra minerals into your soil or prune back your vine until it recovers.
passionfruit either loves it spot or hates it. i have tried 4 different vines before i found this one.
thanks for watching.
[apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
Perfect with yogurt! Thanks for sharing!
mmmm homegrown is the best on yogurt!
you are always welcome
Great video. What do you use for fertilizer and how often do you feed it.
My passion plant is growing buds , but not blooming the flowers please give any tips.
I know this is an old video, but I was wondering whether you could please help.
I've had three passion fruit plants for a couple of years and they were doing great (no fruit though, probably because they are in pots, but I don't mind), but we've had our worst winter this year and they really suffered. They are still alive, but I was afraid of pruning them (I'm a newbie). Now that the weather is finally warm and sunny again (18°-28°C daily) they've put out some new leaves and few flowers, but they are still struggling. Is it too late to prune them? Is there anything else I can do to get my full, lush plants back?
Thank you in advance, and have a great day!! 😊
Just planted 2 tiny vines. Praying they survive and thrive.
Wow, looks amazing. I’m trying in England of all places. Grafting a purple passion fruits onto P. Caerulea root stock and also growing p. Incarnata and P. Mollisima (other Passion flower species that can handle colder temps and also have great tasting fruit). I’m starting them indoors under led lights till we hit May then they will shift outdoors for summer when it’s nice and warm. Hope I get some fruit this year.
that sounds great. i had to fail for 10yrs before settling on this vine Passiflora caerulea (rootstock), Passiflora edulis-panama red (scion).
you are behind the 8 ball with cold weather, but your persistence will bear fruit eventually (pardon my bad pun). i wish you the best, and ask you keep us updated if possible.
thanks for watching, cheers mate.
may your trees be full
Thanks. Just built two wooden trellises against the fence. Will probably build another as well. I have taken some cuttings of an older Caerulea that I’m trying to root. If that succeeds I will attempt to graft them to my Ecuadorean edulis (yellow) and also my English store edulis variety (purple). The seedlings I’ve got are doing well. P. Alata and P. Molissima are both over a meter tall in the conservatory and will cut back and force some side branches soon.
I have 6 edible fruiting species and 2 ornamentals (I’m not counting P. caerulea as aparently they don’t taste great) fingers crossed. All looking very healthy so far.
How did you get on. I have loads of plants in pots. Not sure if they will survive winter outdoor
CotW, you are ambitious. Three years later, what are your results? I am growing P. Incarnata and P. Ceruella (sp) as host plants for the Gulf Fritillary butterfly. The Longwing Zebra butterfly also lays eggs on PF vines but is uncommon in my area.
Hey nice video! Very well done! I can see you are very passionate for your fruit ;)
thanks so much mate. with fruit this delicious, i cant help it.
i like your channel, keep up the good work!
oh yeah, i am Subscriber 392 ;)
You're welcome! Welcome to my channel. I haven't been posting for a while due to school but am looking into a new camera at the moment, so stay tuned! I subbed also.
Subbed you mate 👍 cheers for the video. I have a massive one on a trellis aswell, got over 300 on its first year. 👍
cheers mate. 300!!! waaah!
i think you are the passionfruit master, that is an awesome crop. the plant must love where it lives and its owner too..
may your trees be full.
thanks for watching. [apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
Nice video
A few years back I noticed some passionflower vines that had sprouted out near my fruit orchard. They freeze to the ground each winter but then come back in the spring. They make lots of small fruit (a little larger than a golf ball) but I haven't researched to see if the local varieties are all safe to eat.
hi. passionfruit isnt a fan of cold frosty climate and get stunted, hence why i grow grafted in my windy coastline. i assume if they are getting colour, they might be ok BUT...
in Sydney we have wild (white) passionfruit that grows to golfball size, it has traces of cyanide poison. Unripe fruit may cause nausea and vomiting too.
you have spiked my interest. thank you
I wish I could grow passion fruit, they're my favorite fruit, grew up eating them. I'm in plant hardiness zones 5 through 7
That was the way my grandfather did, he used a trellis for the vine.
Thanks gor the video where are you ?
I'm at zone 8 arizona
I was wondering if you can go grafted passion fruit and Boca del toro? Well basically any grafted tree fruit tree or plants
Hi friend, I just purchased a grafted purple passion fruit. I assumed its the same one you own, panama red but now Im not so sure. Im totally confused. is panama red and purple passion fruit the same variety? and what fertilizer do you use?
Im from phils im always following the passion fruit growers im from oroquieta City Misamis occidental North eastern mindanao philippines.I hope and pray you shared me your seeds of passion fruit as a birthday gift for me thank you.
I have concerns about grafted, many plants I purchased in the past have had shoots from below the graft and taken over, how do u combat this ?
i had the same concerns during my first season..
i quickly learnt that if you remove the stray shoots by pinching and snapping off at the root base, it works a charm.
just keep removing those small young shoots before they become woody and thick, as they dont bear fruit and sap nutrients from the rest of the plant. this method requires less effort as the plant ages.
i hope this was helpful.
Hi i have a new Passionfruit vine that is about 6 months old now, it is starting to flower but it is dropping a lot of its flowers before they pollinate, i have done a few flowers
with a small artists brush and they have turned into fruit and are growing well, now is this normal for a young plant, i went to a fruit nursery today and bought another plant
A Panama Red hoping that they cross pollinate to help both plants. i would love to here your thought's on this.
Cheers Chris My area is Brisbane QLD.
I need help. We removed 10 dead trees from our backyard. Beginning of this year l noticed many purple flowers popping up from everywhere. They start became vines and growing on the ground. I have passion fruits on the ground now. I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose them. If l have to make trellis. It will cover entire yard. I need advice.
My bro
How long did it take until the coloure changed from green to brown?
Thank you ❤
Can you tell me why my passionfruit‘s fall off before they change colour. they are as big as cricket balls but they never seem to ripen. This is the second crop that we have had from our vine.
First time watching. ..passion...for fruits. ..my hobby. ..in india is it possible to grow. ...
How could people dislike this video, what is there to dislike? Anyway I am in Brisbane and 2 of my 3 vines are smashed by grasshoppers or possums (I assume) as the new growth is always eaten and the vine never grows. My other vine has grown well because it is under a carport and I see it everyday and keep an eye on it. Do you have any pest problems or anti pest tactics? Great video by the way glad I found you. 😀
i have never used any insecticide chemicals or methods yet. the fruit are never attacked by bugs or wildlife. however the foliage may be sensitive to sap eaters... i would recommend spraying a homemade concoction of chilli powder and nicotine (i will upload vid soon) and/or hanging some fine nets to deter the larger pests.
you will have different results as you are up north and im down in sydney.
cheers mate, good luck and chat soon
I’ve been growing passion fruit in Hawaii for over ten years, and have figured out the secret. When the vines are new in the ground, little caterpillars eat the new growth to the point where the whole plant dies. Every day go look at each leaf, including the undersides, and wipe off any little black spots/caterpillars. Once the vine is tall and strong enough, you can stop caterpillar hunting.
L Mo have you ever tried BT for the caterpillars it’s a bacteria that is very effective against caterpillars. Cheers
great tip. nothing tasty comes easy.
i envy your growing climate and soils...
we produce strong and elastic polyester/nylon line, it is good for trellis, do you have interest? It is cheap and not rust.
greatvideo!!! How old are your plants??
I grew mine on a wire pergola. They are very good for shade and they attract several birds. The fruit hang down between the wires.
I wonder if any growers have issues w/rats.
Thank you for the informative video! Where are you located and do you know what your hardiness zone is?
hi. you are absolutely welcome. i am in a zone 4/5 Australia (9/10 us). Sydney coastline.
i will include this info in the description.
thanks for watching. may your trees be full.

Great vid 💪🏻
Question, I have a large balcony. Is it possible to grow it in a planter, and if so... how big?
if is start from cutting propagation. how many month start flowering passion fruit
O have 2 vines, yellow and purple, they produce a lot of flowers but no fruit at all. Just now after 2 years I got 2 fruit, what do you do?? Tia
Wonderful video.
You passion fruit looks health and big what are logic.
Am passion fruit farmer in Kenya and would like to know more.
Stock root and seedlings please.
Mine not flowering at all.. What to do
i bought a grafted red Nellie Kelly passionfruit and the label says it grows 3 metres wide. I'm trying to work out where to plant it, but yours looks like it has well and truly gone over 3 metres wide - is that accurate? I don't want to plant it allowing for only 3 metres if it is going to grow way more!
You lucky lucky guy! Live in Scotland! Adore passion fruit! No greenhouse! Not a hope! Sitting here dribbling! Well done you!
thank you so much. you live in a beautiful part of the world.
im guessing no chance of a sunny brick wall sheltered from the wind.. maybe worth a try? ('cause you deserve some passionfruit). i have glaswegian friends- none of which are gardners...
i send you my best wishes.
What a wonderful plant! How deep is the soil you’ve planted this in? I’m only able to use a planter box/pot
this one is about a foot 30cm deep, i had originally planted it 5inches 12cm and the tap root got deeper.
i would recommend a deep pot (larger the better) to keep the roots free and the soil warm. stick your finger in the pot daily and check the moisture content. dont under-water or over-water... its a very picky plant in pots.
thanks.
[apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
Wow. Very good
thanks so much
Nice video...

Is passion fruit the game of miss flora?
Your passion fruit looks healthy and productive. I am envy. My black variety passion fruit vine looks health with luscious leavas and lots of flowers but they don't form fruits. They last for a couple of days then turn a yellow and drop.Do you have any ideas why that happens?
hello and thank you.
your problem is common. it can be a few things- soil imbalance (fertilizers, pH), cold weather shocks the plant, or wrong plant for that area. some people say its pollination (sometimes need a second plant).
after 10yrs of trying different vines, this one performed the best in my old soil and windy yard. always self pollinates.
im not much help, but i wish you much luck
you can also pollinate the flowers yourself...give your plant extra help....good luck.
Thank you for your tip.i am going to try it.
What do you do about the butterflies/caterpillars eating them. Mine are getting destroyed.
Hi, can you tell me what the orientation is of your passionfruit/ fence to north. I have tried growing passionfruit against a fence facing north in Melbourne, but have had no success.so far
gday. my fence runs north south and it faces west.. a 90 degree difference to you.
not by choice, but rather chance. i find this orientation works for me as the fence warms up and promotes the vine to seek more light but also shelters it from direct sunlight in our stubborn heat spells (sydney).
down side is southerly winds sometimes give the vine a chill but the warm fence offsets a bit. that said, i have tried many vines over the last decade. some species are stubborn, some impossible and its never the same result for two gardeners.
soil is a major component along with vine species.
i use this grafted variety Passiflora caerulea (rootstock), Passiflora edulis-panama red (scion).
thanks for watching.

Sir where did you purchasethis plant or seeds to grow the plant.pls.i want to buy plz.pls.tell me.sir.
This might be a dumb question but how long does the actual main stem take to get thick and strong? Mine is only like 2cm thick and my cat likes to sleep next to it I'm worried it'll snap.
good question. that vine in the video got to full size in 3 years.
the root section grows at a great pace, but the graft takes a long while to fuse and expand. i would say its delicate for a year, doesnt like root disruption either. a stake with some ties might help.
thanks for watching.
[apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
that grate! how can i get the seed?
Thank you. If you boil the shell in one cup water, you drink that at night and will help you to sleep better. You can eat the inside of the shell after boiling it too.
youre welcome.. and thank you for the great tip. i need a sleep remedy now more than ever :)
thanks for watching.

Can I ask what fertiliser is best? I have the exact same passion fruit (mind you I’ve just planted it after being in a pot for 3 years because of renting) but i would like to help it grow big and strong like yours!
Passion fruit is good with compost though you can apply NPK, UREA, CAN but you will have to be careful because that can give you leaves instead of fruits but click
ruclips.net/video/dwYnivX4HMk/видео.html Watch and learn how to minimize cost by preparing your own compost. compost is good for passion fruit.
I live in Florida. I have a passion vine I want to grow mainly for the flowers and gulf fritillary butterflies. I wonder what shape trellis is the best. I can't decide and my vines have been in the pot. Also the leaves have gotten all spotty. What do I do?
I'm in Southern California. I had two different Passiflora species growing in pots. I was surprised that the Gulf Frits didn't want anything to do with my P. edulis 'Frederick'. They only wanted to eat the P. caerulea.
Nice, can I ask, is there where you live no winter? Is this fruit suppose to grow where is warm temperature always?
hi, thanks. usually the vine needs warm.
i live in zone 4/5 Sydney coast (us 10/11) which is windy cold towards autumn sometimes.
this grafted vine helps a lot against cold weather, i would recommend to anyone. the hot tin fence helps too.
thanks for watching.
[apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
I love passion fruit... I can eat 10 them fresh easily. Here isn’t cheap either, $7 per lb.
where in oz are you growing these and did you have to prep the soil prior to planting?
im in zone 4/5 Sydney coastline.
i composted the soil months prior and top up with manure/grass clippings when needed out of season.
thanks for watching.

Many thanks! We do not know passion fruit in Egypt. It would be great to have them.planted over here. Do you have am advice for us? Would passion fruit grow in proclaimed land in the desert?
try import from India
It grows great in the Arizona desert
Hi, I live in Ballarat Victoria, if I bought a passionfruit vine could I grow it successfully as the weather is very temperamental. BTW your passionfruit crop is incredible. How's it going today, March 2018?
hiya. thanks for asking. I would recommend buying a vine from a local nursery (to maximise the chances of success with a locally tested and proven vine).
Vic tends to be a bit cold at times, so i would recommend a grafted variety (wild root stock) instead of an heirloom like a panama. i think nelly kelly has some good localised varieties.
good luck and thank you for your support. cheers
should talk more about HOW to grow(ie. fertiliser, bugs, disease, when to grow etc)
thats going into the next video, growing from scratch.
the vine has completed its lifecycle so i have all the answers now.
cheers
I liked it too much
thank you
A fruit that size will cost at least $2, probably $3, here in Canada. I'm going to try to grow them in containers that I bring inside for the winter.
Could I kindly ask, many did you plant there? Also what fertiliser do I use?
Thank you!
What fertilizer do you use?
How often do you fertilize it?
gday. i usually use a bit of manure or grass clipping before spring. the plant tells me when it needs a dose (yellowish weak leaves). soil prep before planting is key. i will include this info in the next video, planting from scratch.
thanks for watching. may your trees be full.

Is this variety Passion Fruit Cold Hardy?
great
Pls clear my doubt sir... Why is my passion fruit flower bud isn't growing big...?😭😭😭getting lots of buds... But none of them has any growth...
By any chance, you have fruit fry issue ? If so, how you deal with it ?
no fruit fly or wasp issues, at all. the green fruit seems too unappetizing and tough for insects. the mature fruit has a tough skin. No insecticide needed, thats why i love this plant so much
can I ask how long it took for it to begin bearing fruit?
as Synced stated. 1-2 yrs to fruit and about 4-5 yrs lifespan.
thanks for watching. [apologies for the huge delay in replying.. i've been off-air since the family funeral.]
Can I grow them in Austria ?
When I was live in Florida I planted passion fruit they grown well but iguana ate all the new plants
