Anybody know if this passion flower produces fruit in the UK? Mine is four years old and produces loads of flowers, but can't get it to fruit. It's on a South-facing shed. By contrast, I have an ordinary passiflora caerulea on a North-facing wall, only planted in April this year and it already has its first couple of fruit. Does the all-white variety need special treatment in order to produce fruit?

 

Sorry can't help with this one either, its not a variety I am familiar with. As a general rule if its producing flowers it should produce fruit - however it may be sterile. The only thing I can think of is to try some hand polination next year and see what happens. Transfer the pollen, using a fine paintbrush.

 

I've not grown it myself, so I go along with what Fran says, try pollenating it by hand. Try crossing it with the pollen from the caerulea.
Just a thought but why do you want the fruit?
Once the fruit start to form they tend to slow down the flowering.
