Help me identify this plant- I know it's a passionfruit but any idea what variety/ I grew it from seed I collected from a very tasty passionfruit I ate 3 years ago- the vine is huge but this is my first fruit- hopefully there will be more this summer 😍😍😍
"Nellie Kelly, a large-fruited black passionfruit, is the most popular homegrown variety and the one I am growing, but others you’ll come across at the nursery are Panama Red, Panama Gold and Pandora. These last three do best in warm or at least coastal climates. I wouldn’t expect any of them to fruit here in Kurrajong."
"Another bone of contention with passionfruit seems to be whether or not they need a ‘friend’. Some Panama varieties for instance fruit better with cross-pollination (that is two vines) but Panama Gold Select is self-fertile. Nellie Kelly is also self-fertile."
