Passion Fruit

This past Spring we planted a Passion Flower, and recently we noticed this large pod hanging on the vine. I did some checking on-line and apparently some of the species bear fruit. If that's the case we have one.

It looks a bit like the passionfruit we have in our area which is now classed as a noxious weed - turns yellow and long shaped like a banana! But it can't be the same if you bought it.

Awesome. Who knew you could grow them in the northeast?

Passion flowers are so pretty. My wife saw a picture of one, and after researching to determine what it was, I read up on it as well, and yes, you have a fruit. Nice picture.

I've seen the fruit of these that grow wild and read up to find out they're pretty tasty. Nice side benefit!

Neat! Are you going to taste it?

[Rick Schies]

@grammyn I think I'll pass

[katy]

@digitalrn why?

[Kathy]

You'll have to try it and tell us how it is.

Wow! What a nice surprise! It doesn't sound like something that we should be able to successfully grow this far north! :) Ready for this winter?? Snow showers are possible just an hour north of here this weekend! Yikes! Here we go again!

[Andrew]

[Dione Giorgio]

Is it edible? Looks very nice to me.

[Kimberly Doerr]

That is really neat. I had one of these pretty flowers... Ummm not so good in the green thumb department.

[Kerry McCarthy]

What a neat surprise.

I think they're edible too- you'll have to tell us how it tastes if you can eat them!
