One of the things we miss from Queensland is the abundant sprawling, crawling, hang off your every word if they could passionfruit vines. I've planted four or five since coming to Tasmania, but the graft always died over winter and the rotten root stock would take over and threaten to become an environmental weed. It also took a while to realise that they weren't much pleased by our highly acidic soils and a tweek or two to the pH was in order. I'd almost given up when I came across the black Norfolk which wasn't a graft. It was planted in the greenhouse where it is now producing not just flowers but wee fruits too.
Passionfruit butter - here we come! Or is that counting my passionfruits before they hatch?

Yum Linda! I am growing 2 plants. One grafted and one is not. So I am interested to see what survives over winter and fruits first. I haven't had any luck in prevoius locations either .
