Hey neighbor,
I'm just down the street from you, in Fullerton. Where did you find the passionfruit vine? A local nursery? I am about to make some planting decisions and would like to start growing my own (passion fruit that is!)
Hey Wup, I bought mine at Roger’s Garden -Newport Beach, It was 13 bucks. Most places sell em for about 7-8 $ for a 1 gallon container.
I was looking for a gorgeous red flowered ornamental variety and the salesperson talked me into one called Passaflora Edulis “Frederick” Supposed to bear lotsa fruit. Got my fingers crossed! Saw a bunch of different varieties at Lakewood Nursery (actually in Cypess, Hawaiian Gardens) and my favorite place to shop for plants. Selection and price can’t be beat!
Passiflora’s are aggressive and need plenny room along with support-trellis/chain link fence,etc.
Good luck!
Btw, Blue Hills on the blvd in La Habra has quality plants ( and excellent free advice) at a little higher price then the big box stores but nowhere near what Rogers charges.
I have never seen Passionfruit plants at any big box store.
