Luscious passion fruit


I planted this panama passionfruit about two and a half years ago and it didn't really do much and I basically gave up on it, even thinking it had died. In fact, passionfruit plants up here don't usually survive the winters with their frosts, but this one has proved to be quite hardy. So a few weeks ago I looked up into this tree growing in Marissabelle's yard, but along our fence-line, and was really surprised by all the pendulous passion fruits literally dripping off the vine. Let's hope they ripen now that the nights have started to turn cool. There are a couple on the turn already so here's hoping.
