Product Information

Thanks for your kind note, Sherese! Maypop/native passionfruit is such a great and under-appreciated plant. Now that yours is established in your garden, expect it to start vigorously running beyond its original footprint. That vigor isn’t something we consider to be a detriment though. In our experience, there’s only two things that can reduce maypop fruit production or seriously harm the plants: 1) root knot nematode (which can be controlled with predatory nematodes) and 2) the larvae/caterpillars of Gulf fritillary butterflies (which don’t usually do too much damage – see: https://www.tyrantfarms.com/a-message-from-fred-gulf-fritillary-butterfly/). One thing you can do for Gulf fritillary control is have two patches of maypops: one is your production patch and another is your sacrificial patch. Just transfer Gulf fritillary caterpillars from your production to your sacrificial patch as you find them.

Tender passion flowers have blooms that range in colourfrom reds and yellows to purples and blues. The flower shapes range from simple starry bells, such as Passiflora citrina, to exotic jelly-fish-like forms of Passiflora quadrangularis. All will need room in a conservatory or heated greenhouse to grow and flower well. This method of making passionfruit juice takes even less time and effort to prepare but leaves you with more washing up.

Not Producing Fruit Nooo! Close but still unripe maypop that will be very sour/tangy, but not sweet or good tasting. Notice that the pulp around the seeds is still white. The pulp should be more yellow when ripe. Also, the skin of a maypop will be slightly yellow and have a bit of crinkle to it when the fruit is at peak ripeness. Are maypops nutritious or medicinal?

Many garden centres and supermarkets will only sell passion flower in season, when the plant looks its best.Chassagne D, Crouzet JC, Bayonove CL, Baumes RL (1996).

When you pop open the skin, does it smell like delicious tropical candy inside with slightly yellow/off-white pulp around the seeds? Ripe.

This delicious, tropical fruit has tons of flavor and health benefits.You just have to get through the outer shell first, which is quite tough and not edible.

Passiflora incarnata ‘Maypops’– This hardier specimen grows well in cooler regions and features yellow-skinned fruit that tastes like tart apricots.I’m not sure if you’ve yet had the chance to eat a ripe maypop, but you’re in for a treat if not. Just make sure you eat them perfectly ripe or a little beyond. Eat them too early and they’re sour and not very flavorful. Perfectly ripe and they’re absolutely delicious. Passion fruit seeds are totally edible. In fact, they contribute a lot to the tart flavor of this tropical fruit.Since they’re so small, they can be swallowed whole. They can also be chewed and have a slightly crunchy texture. Finally, they can be pureed to give a smooth finish. You can also juice passion fruit by straining it through a fine mesh sieve. It won’t yield a lot of juice, but you won’t have the crunchy seeds to work around. Passion fruit is the fruit that comes from a passion flower plant native to Brazil and Northern Argentina. It is grown across several tropical and subtropical countries. The fruit (technically a berry) is oval in shape. Depending on the variety, has deep purple skin (Passiflora edulis) or yellow skin (Passiflora flavicarpa). Amend sandy or dense soils with compost to improve drainage and prevent root rot. You can also enrich the soil with bone meal or liquid kelp during planting to give new vines a boost. Trellising
