My Passion Fruit vine (variety Purple Possum) is three years old, and just started to bloom for the first time. Will there be fruit if I only have one vine? What do they look like? How do I tell when they are ripe?
My Passion fruit vine is blooming! Can you tell me what to expect next?
If you have the same variety I have the fruit will be anywhere from yellow-green to a deep yellow-orange with bright red seeds inside. I can send you photos of the flowers and fruit if you like.
Reply:Actually, it is the flowers that you eat. You can make tea out of the leaves. It is a calming herb that is a sedative. It is good for insomnia and nervousness and hysteria.
The flowers are good in a salad or eaten raw. Check out hte link.

Reply:You can get fruits from one vine if you pollinate it. This can be done by delicately dabbing the anthers of the flowers with a Q-tip. This spreads the pollen from one flower to another, and it they should bear.
