    Well, that's a surprise M-L! Is this your plant and, if so, how old is it. Mine was bought this year at a metre or so tall and is now about three metres going over a ballustrade and cane trellis. Are the fruit edible? Did it self pollinate or do I have to go out with my paintbrush? :D :D

    LOL .. No this is not one of mine ....but the fruit is edible ... My own passion flower plants do bear fruit, but it takes a couple of seasons before they 'get going' .... if you have other varieties the bees should do the job for you !! :cool: M-L
