A vigorous, woody, climbing
vine, the yellow passion fruit
grows well in a wide range of
soils, but does best on fertile
well-drained types. The vines,
which should be trained on a wire
trellis or fence, produce flowers
the second year after planting
(seed) and set fruit continuously
from June to November. The
vines produce for many years,
require little attention other
than occasional pruning and
fertilising, and are not affected
by any serious diseases or insect
pests. An attractive garden plant
with the added benefit of edible
fruits! Cultivars called Panama
Gold Panama Red are available
at local garden centres.
