Apr 16, Lots of flowers but no fruit for 5 years and then I tried this and bingo!! It took off everywhere. Along the fence, up the trees, up the neighbours tree. Heaps of flowers every year but not a single fruit. There were bees around but still nothing. I cross pollinated still nothing. Read up all the advice and blogs on the net and I had been doing all the right things.

Every year we get at least two storms come through, stripping some of the leaves. We use this time to burrow in and remove all dead stems and runners underneath the foliage.
We also have an agreement with the local children, what grows on the outside of the fence is theirs, what grows on the inside is ours - seems to work. A few suggestions to help - 1. Dig a larger hole than required, fill the bottom with a bucket of fish guts , offal or, if available, a dead lamb.
By the time the root system reaches down the offal would have rotted down. Plant on the northern side of a fence or wind break, with a good strong wire network, not wooden trellis. Set up a consistent water and fertiliser program. If its over 34 deg C, water daily. Train the vine along the wires, in a systematic layout. Dont let it do its own thing. When flowers start to open, spray them with a mild solution of Honey and water.
To attract the bees, On the flowers, not on the vine. If your fruit are hollow, its a sign of a lack of water. Allow at least 2 years for it to go into full production. Plant small shrubs around the base to help keep the root system cool during summer 8.
When you start to harvest your bounty, scoop extra fruit pulp into a bowl, whisk to break it down, and freeze into a ice cube tray for future use, each cube equals 1 x tablespoon of pulp. If you live or visit West Australia, I would be more that happy to show you our vines.

Oct 21, Passion fruit blooms but no fruit formed by: Emily I am a community gardener. My 10 months old passion fruit grown from seed has started flowering and I pollinate with a small painting brush daily around 2pm since the flowers open fully around this time. I have been doing this daily for the past 2 weeks and it seems to work. Washed the brush daily and let it dry daily. However there is a few flowers that dries up and drop off as pollination was unsuccessful.
It could be due to the temp of 34 to 35 degree Centigrade. Or perhaps my watering was not sufficient amount although I sprayed 2 times daily.

The reason for doing this is the roots take up water to supply upward to the plant and flowers should get the water or else it dries up and dropped off.

Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora toxicity on Passionflow's Myles' site.
Um, no. Not just no, but seriously no. All passiflora synthesize a natural cyanide as protection from herbivores. Every year there are cases of children being poisoned in South America from eating under-ripe passion fruit.
While it's true a tea can be made from the leaves of some passiflora, this is processed to remove the toxins. I have pictures that I have taken last summer, from the Passiflora that grows wild here , Atlanta GA area.
I do not know the name of the variety. But it has Blueis-purple color petals and strands. The flower is abotan inc and half accross. I ate some of its leaves and nothing happened to me. At the time. Shortly before I did not even know the name. So I did a google search and read a lot about it. No where they mentioned that it is toxic or poisonous.
In one of those websites, they mentioned that the leaves are edible, so is the fruit. The unripe fruit has no taste. Even the ripe one is tart too but has a unique flavor and taste. I tried to copy one of the pictures that I have taken but the editot would not accept. Anyway, as I mention this specific variety grows wild around here.

Nicole, sometimes it takes patience for the passi to develop a mature root system. I planted Clear Sky a couple of years back.
The first year, it grew well but set no buds. The second year it set a few flowers--less than a dozen--over the summer. Last year it bloomed constantly. My Constance Elliot was similar--no blooms at all the first year, then many the second. Vegetative maturity doesn't necessarily mean root system maturity. Also, if you're over-fertilizing with nitrogen, that could encourage vegetative growth over flowering.
Wait until your vine gets as big as you want it and then start cutting off the ends all over the plant. That is when mine has started to flower.
