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.
