Passion fruit by maggiemae

Passion fruit

This particular plant is called "Banana Passionfruit' and it is now known to be an invasive plant, climbing through everything eventually blocking light from the host plant which then will die! Along the road growing wild this plant has lots of fruit. I noted the the usual purple passionfruit at the supermarket is about $50 a kilo! These banana ones have the same insides as the purple. So tomorrow we are having passionfruit for our breakfast
How interesting. Never seen or heard of this before. At least it doesn't only kill the host plant, but provides beautiful fruit as it does its deadly deed!

They are sooooooo invasive which is a pity as they are also delicious to eat.

How unusual - I was going to ask if it is edible and then I see in the comments above it is!

I never realised these were so invasive. Mind you, I haven't seen one of those plants for years.

I have never heard of it, but your photo is fabulous. Good to know some good can come out of it if the fruit is as delicious as you say

Wow I have no knowledge of this plant although Iā€™ve heard of the fruit before. Sure we havenā€™t got it here, looks rather beautiful thereā€¦.not so good if it goes rampant!
