Maybe you need something covered &#8212; because it\u2019s ugly or for privacy or for dust catchment &#8212; and a passion fruit vine can be the solution.<\/p>\n<p>What follows is what I\u2019ve learned about growing passion fruit in Southern California from my own vines as well as those of friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>More than edible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, passion fruit is delicious, tangy sweet, and everyone in my family loves them. My young sons get so excited when they get to eat one of these purple eggs. I give each a half and they lap the pulp up with their tongues (often suctioning the empty rind onto their chins for fun at the end).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2878\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"eating passion fruit\" width=\"345\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_102619-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I, however, eat my passion fruit by scooping the pulp out with a spoon. (I\u2019m so refined.)<\/p>\n<p>Harvest is year-round. The fruit is not messy when it drops from the vine, as it doesn\u2019t splatter or rot. It lies on the ground getting sweeter and waiting for you to notice it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve grown four varieties: Frederick, Possum Purple, Red Rover, and Nancy Garrison. They\u2019re all very similar in appearance, growth habit, and taste, but I\u2019ve had the best luck with Frederick and Possum Purple. As far as taste goes, Possum Purple is my slight favorite as it seems to consistently get a little sweeter than the others. That may be particular to my plants in my location though, not sure.<\/p>\n<p>Each is self-fruitful so you don\u2019t need more than one passion fruit vine in order to get fruit. Insects do the pollination work, and honey bees certainly enjoy the flowers. Here is a honey bee on a passion fruit flower on the first day of winter, December 21, 2017:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2877\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-300x279.jpg\" alt=\"honey bee on passion fruit flower\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-600x557.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-768x713.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-1024x951.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764-1080x1003.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_103100-e1513894565764.jpg 1985w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>More than evergreen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before I settled on a passion fruit vine for privacy and dust catchment on my fence, I&#8217;d tried many other plants.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I grew tomatoes and trained them up the fence, I let green beans climb it, as well as peas. But I soon learned that I wanted something perennial; I didn\u2019t want to put in new plants every couple months.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I planted blackberries and raspberries. The blackberries and raspberries have now been moved to a spot with afternoon shade, however, because the fence gets all day sun in the summer and sometimes burns the berries. I planted grapes there too, but they have no leaves to provide privacy from December through March, so that didn&#8217;t work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>With passion fruit though, the vines look good all year. The leaves are glossy green, although its flowers are the real draw. Blooming in every month of the year, passion flowers are complicated and colorful.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a passion fruit vine gets going it will extend over a dozen feet long in a single year\u2019s growth, grabbing onto anything it can with its tendrils. The one plant that I have in front of my vegetables is fully covering 12 strides, or about 30 feet, of fence &#8212; would be more except I keep it pruned back. It would probably be twice that length if I never pruned it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2880\" style=\"width: 495px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2880\" class=\"wp-image-2880\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"new passion fruit vine\" width=\"485\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-600x312.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171221_111217-e1513894890652-1080x561.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This passion fruit vine is only about six months old.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, passion fruit vines are enjoyable to prune, having soft leaves and stems. I prune mine at least once a year, often in the late winter, but also often whenever the mood strikes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m in Sunset Zone 20 or 21, and usually once each winter my vines get their tips burnt from a frosty morning. It\u2019s welcome since I\u2019m going to prune them back much further before they start growing intensely again in early spring anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Got light frost this morning, incidentally, with a temperature reading on my porch of 36 degrees (so a few degrees lower out in the yard) and zero damage to passion fruit vines or fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Passion fruit vines don\u2019t seem to care whether they get watered by drippers or sprinklers. I\u2019ve used both with fine results. And I\u2019ve found that watering about once per week in my sandy loam soil is enough during the summer. The neat thing that I\u2019ve stumbled upon with passion fruit vines is that once they get a year old you can continue giving them water often and in high volume and you\u2019ll get lots of fruit, but you can also water them infrequently and with less volume &#8212; similar to grapes &#8212; and the vines will still look good but produce less fruit.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Cover anything<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had another problem a couple years ago. I put in a rain tank on the south side of our house and wanted to keep it cool and pretty. Another passion fruit vine saved the day. I wrapped the tank in wire mesh and planted a vine in August of 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2884\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"passion vine rain tank new plant\" width=\"306\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-600x802.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant-1080x1444.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/passion-vine-rain-tank-new-plant.jpg 1532w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within a year, it was covering the tank completely and needing some taming.
