5 Tips How To Grow a Ton of Passionfruit From ONE Passion Fruit!

In this video, I give you my 5 top tips on how to grow a ton of passionfruit all from just one passion fruit!

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

I have never commented on a youtube video in my life, sir... but watching you joyfully trundle through your garden with a passion fruit and speaking passionately about your vines has made everything in 2020 okay again. You should be voted president of our new pandemic-struck world.

I let mine grow wild, and OMG, they have taken over, but I love it! I did not fertilize at all, and my vines have TONS of fruit! I also just learned you can tea with the leaves!

I had to give your video a thumbs up as you were walking towards us with that huge bowl of passion fruit and a smile! Thank you!

Don't forget, you can freeze the pulp for use during the off season and to flavour drinks and sweets. Just scrape out the pulp and freeze in ice cube trays, then store in zip lock in your freezer until needed.

We have plenty of passion fruit in Brazil .
It makes a refreshing juice

[mrshoney]

I have a passion to grow these! Thank you for all your tips.

I had always problems with passion fruits. Thanks ❤️ for the important tips. There’s always something to learn from your videos. (Small update : We use tender passion fruit leaves as salad. Those are good for reduce blood pressure levels. We mix small chunks of leaves with scraped coconut, green chilies & onion. Mix altogether & heat 1-2 minutes. Or else just mix & eat.)

I live in Colombia and the purple passion fruit here is called Gulupa, and they usually grow it in cold climates around 2000-3000 meters which vary between maybe 10-20 degrees celcius (so makes sense that grows better where you are), whereas the yellow passion fruit (different than yours, bigger), is more like 1000-1500 meters, warmer climates, probably like 20-30. We also have a cousin of the passionfruit that is orange called a granadilla that you crack open like an egg and its extremely sweet. That's my favorite by far!! Grows in colder climates as well, worth seeing if you can find in australia, cheers!

I really like how enthusiastic you are with your garden.

Here in Texas we grow passiflora incarnata which is native to our region! You can also brew the leaves as a calming tea. They also host native butterflies here! The flowers smell divine and pollinators love them too.

I've just got a small trellis now but I will be building it out and maybe even over our shed to let it go crazy.

You can propagate by cutting, layering, or root division!

dude! because of your videos I wanna move to Australia and live there just like you, you grow so much good food because of that perfect climate and never ending summer

Thank you so much for all your videos and you are a great inspiration.
We used to live in Suriname, south America, but we live in the Netherlands at the moment.
We are building a new house in Suriname now, but it is not finished yet, but will be this year and I'm looking forward to move back and start gardening again.
In our previous garden the passion fruit was one of the most productive plants, beside our mango trees.
It ate all of our kitchen waste and turned it into fruit every day, year round.
My morning retual was to pick up some passion fruits and mango's to put into the yoghurt and dump the kitchen waste into the bed.
The bed for the passion fruit was 2m x 40cm x 40cm and I put a 2m high wooden frame behind it. It doesn't need much.
The few passion fruit seeds from the kitchen waste maintained the cycle. I just cut the old ones at the base from time to time so the new plants could take over. Spiky gherkins sometimes sprung up in the same bed as well. :)

I’ve got 4 passion fruits for my husband and told him how expensive they are when he said I wonder if we can grow them from the seeds. I laughed but he looked on YouTube and found your video. I stopped laughing and got excited because I’m a subscriber and love your videos. We live in Texas and will give it a try at grow around our trellised fence

I planted my first passion fruit this year in February, today the first 2 flowers are open and still alot on it's way to open. I am amazed at how quick it has grown.

I live in Namibia, Africa the plant is in full sun all day, it gets water every 3days.

Sooo excited. thanx for all the tips.

I live in Arkansas, USA, and we have a native passionfruit here called passiflora incarnata that is delicious, but most of the natives don't know it. The fruits are about the size of a hen's egg and the leaves are palmately 3-lobed. They grow and produce abundantly on fences and in neglected fields. Well into autumn they turn from light green to a wrinkled yellow, and at that time they ripe and ready. The taste is sweet with an odd musky odor. It's an acquired taste. I really like this gentleman's videos.

I am so excited finally have one passionfruit from my plant after a year

[lilmisspeace]

I'm in an area where it frosts in winter and I put 2 passionfruit vines in.

The purple variety has lasted through a winter and is out of control this year!!
The root stock keeps shooting through my lawn and has even fruited!!
The grafted in purple passionfruit shoot is so crazy that it has engulfed the entire fence and has so much fruit that I think the fence is going to collapse and I won't be able to give away enough of the fruit!!

For a few dollars, this was a great choice and investment 🤩

Hi. I’m so excited. After no success with 9 various passionfruit plants on our property in southwest Victoria this year our 18 month old banana passionfruit is not only growing berserk but has fruit on of fruit in fact. Now patiently waiting for it to ripen! So glad it has survived our cold frosty winter and is now almost ready to feed us. Love your videos. 😊
