27 years later and I am still fighting the dreaded rootstock. Succeed in one area and it pops us 50 metres in a different direction. Horrible stuff.
WOW thanks for sharing Helen! Im so sorry I really want to save more people from having to deal with this problem 😣
@@SustainableHolly Yes, I warn everyone who will listen at every opportunity.
My first thought is do the grafted plants in containers. I have ungrafted plants in containers and they are doing quite well
oh those roots are a great strategy
Funny you should say "pop up". Passion fruit are Native here in Florida/Deep South of the US and are called "May Pop" because they "Pop up in May", after dormancy.
I have a native passion fruit that grew naturally in my yard. I just started making use of the fruit this year, and am real excited for its future.
I have a passionfruit that I grew from seed, and they definitely take over. They're aggressive growers and can be invasive. I'm training mine as a fence covering, and I'd say I get about a foot of vine growth every three or four days. It's a perfect plant if you want your fence covered in vines in a very short time.
I live in Florida where there's a lot of sun and awful, sandy soil (I have to buy tons of potting/gardening soil to supplement it, or nothing would grow), and I soak the passionfruit about once a week (I can't do demanding plants, because I just don't have the time, so most of my plants are very low-maintenance, such as herbs and flowering vines) . I would definitely recommend it to someone who says they "can't keep a plant alive."
I also have mandevillas, morning glories, moonflowers, jasmine, honeysuckle, and wisteria on the same fence, so I'm just thinking about cutting the passionfruit back a little and letting it fight it out with the wisteria. 😂
Hi Holly, Following your advice I have planted ordinary ungrafted purple passion fruit in the garden ❤ I rescued a grafted golden passion fruit from the ‘plant hospital’ at a local nursery and I am keeping it in a pot - well, excellent advice not to put it in the garden as it growing really well but I can see that the rootstock is doing its best to get going as well. I can manage that in a pot. Thanks.
Do the 5 prong leaves grow at the base only to cut off? or through out the plant? Thank you!
Yes we have this happening right now 😊 thanks for the video
Good video.
Many years ago I planted grafted passionfruit. never again.
Hopefully you saved some people from making this mistake!
Thanks Holly! I'm allergic to passionfruit, but I have done you a solid for all of the help you have given me on this channel. Has Josh from Gardening Australia rang you yet? I have planted the seed and the rest is up to God, the ''tubes and my old employer the ABC. Cheers!
Wow Thanks Craig! I really appreciate your continued support 🌱🌿
Great info.passionfruits are so yummmmm and look amazing on desserts
💚🌱 so yum!
I had grown passion fruits in Texas, USA (Zone 9) for a few years, and the species could not survive from winter weather with no popups during springs. Therefore, I have to cut the branches before winter and grow them in small pots to be planted in the next early springs. Because of this, I was considering to switch to hardy passion fruits, such as Passiflora Incarnata and Cinnata, which are able to survive in Zone 6 or 7. Since the planting areas are on iron fences about two feet from a lake bordered with wooden board cap. These hardy passion fruits should have strong underground runner roots and would pop up anywhere in spring. The roots may have the potential to ruin the wooden boards and cause the dirt leaked into the leak. After viewing your videos, I canceled my Amazon orders and keep my old way to grow the passion fruits having no strong runner roots. Your video helped me to avoid a lot of potential troubles. Thank you!
Lots of great information. Thank you
❤ this was very helpful thank you for sharing this information 😊 this is very true from my experience!
😁
❤ Is it possible not to change the passion fruit bush, but to graft a new scion onto the old root, taking into account your recommendations for renewing passion fruit every 4-5 years for fruiting?
Wow your information is so good and i found your vedio very good to take on board on my first time growing passion fruit plants thank you so much for your amazing tips cheers again sweetheart happy gardening ❤
Thanks for this great advice! I'd been a bit suspicious about our new vine and you helped me nip the root stock issue in the bud (after a couple of months of growth... kind of sad to chop it off, but having fruit will be worth it!)
Yes I’ve had this problem in Perth! Unfortunately most passion fruit sold in garden centres here are grafted!
I know and people have NO IDEA I think its really unfair!
Thank you .
Explains why I have lots flowers ,,no fruit ,, apart , the orange fruit ,,,,
Got five leaf variety .
In first yr did , produce ,,2 purple fruit .
Oh 😬 it’s so frustrating 😔
I only have purple passion fruit vines which gives me hundreds of delicious fruits every year and banana passion fruit vines which is still young. I was introduced to the inedible variety years ago 😊
I've only had success with both my yellow and purple variety here in Hawaii (The Big Island), and I bought mine on Etsy of all places (it was too expensive to buy them in my own state!)
I need to say this after 15 years of growing Passion Fruit, Something you said about the grafted ones being more disease resistant? Passion Fruits grown from true seeds are actually more disease resistant, Thats is why we got rid of all our grafted ones, They kept getting leaf curl and all sorts wrong and the fruits where nothing like they where supposed to be according to the label. When you grow from seeds Some will be more vigerous then others, Just Transplant all the strong ones after a season of two.
Definitely not needed here in Perth. I think more so cold or humid climate the rootstock helps!
❤ Thanks! ❤
Just took on a huge new opportunity running an urban farm in coastal NSW. Largely focused on passionfruit for a bar's cocktails and ghost peppers for sauces and they haven't had a good gardener in for a while so the plants are wild, dead or overtaken and this video has been great. Thanks for all the info. Any other tips? Epsom salt spray or particular fertilising routines?
Thank you so much ! I’ve been trying to work out why I’m mostly getting the small fruit which turn yellow. You are the only one I have come across who has touched on this. I have now taken out all of the rootstock shoot growth. I have noticed it shooting out of the ground despite it being in a pot. I realised that the tap root has breached the pot and grown into the ground. Do you know if it is safe to cut it free and then try and eliminate the root in the ground?
Hi Holly,
I just noticed my passionfruit has a sucker coming off it. I thought I had bought a non grafted type ( never trust the right plant is in the right section at Bunnings ) and didn't even check that it had a root stock when I planted it. I'm going to throw it or put it in a big pot like Daz from Aussie Garden and Kitchen did.
I wish I'd known about the root stock thing. I bought a nellie kelly years ago - but the possums loved the leaves so the graft never had a chance to take off. Then I saw a sprout from the root stock and thought - why not let it do its thing?! The possums left it alone - and it grew and grew into an enormous vine. After three years, I wondered why it never produced fruit. I gave up, ripped it out, and I'm still ripping it out - all of them! Argh! It pops up everywhere..... :'(
Thank you! Hopefully more people can watch this before they decide to plant it 🫣
Thanks for the advice, Holly. Just went out to check and my whole vine has a 5 stem leaves. I was wondering why I only got flowers (very pretty) but no fruit. Looks like a lot of work for me for the next 10 years.
Oh no im sorry 😔 it is such a frustrating issue that so many people have!! I wish they didn't sell them here or at least BIG warnings!
Arent those flowers passionfruit though?
Passionfruit will lose leaves in colder climates during winter. A good prune can also be great to maintain them as they fruit on new growth 🌱

Dammmmn! I wish I knew this before I planted 3 grated vines
I live in Perth too and I have same problem
Eek!! I have this big problem in Busselton. I need to tackle it asap (like today! Im worried now lol). Should I start by attacking the root system and digging up what I can? I love your videos :)
Completely up to you but it will probably be something you have to keep removing 😵💫 does it still have some good passionfruit or is it all rootstock?
Subbed I'm growing purple passion fruit both hydroponically and in soil I live in MN northern climate so gotta bring to porch when it's cold ... It behaves very much different hydroponically will make vid later when I get my first froot
Let me know. I'd like to grow on fish pond.
I planted a passion fruit beside a fence and the possums had easy access and devoured it. Then i planted another one near a big shrub so it could grow in around the little branches hidden from possums. I thought it was a great idea until as the long awaited fruit ripened they fell to the ground and rolled down the very steep hill to a place where i will never be abpe to retireve them. I didnt know that fruit dropped when ripe.
Oh no maybe you need a fruit hammock to catch the fruits 😅
Great idea.
Hahaha sim a maioria das variedades caem. Mas há algumas espécies que não, como o meu maracujá-do-mato que tenho em meu quintal. Mas ele é doce com polpa cinza e consumido in natura.
Mas você pode tirá-las antes de estarem completamente madura, elas vão amadurecer na sua fruteira na cozinha, igualmente o mamão.
I have panama gold variety @Adelaide.
Lots of flowers and not a single fruit.usually there are lots of Bees in my garden.
Tried hand pollinating but no success.
I have always wanted to grow passionflowers and the house I just moved to already had one in the backyard, but it’s definitely gonna be a headache even though it’s Soo gorgeous because the previous owners planted it in the ground 😭 and the entire thing is rootstocked 🙄🙃
Q1: My Black Passion-fruit has 3 pronged leaves & single leaves & 1.5 pronged leaves. What the??
Q2: If you damage the tap root when you transplant it and the leaves all drop off can the plant survive?😕
I planted mine in a large pot
Hehe I see some suckers a few meters away from the pot I planted grafted passion fruit in and it grew roots through the drainage holes and through the plastic grass. The fruit is tasty tho I know anything below graft must be removed.
Wow they are vigorous aren’t they!
HI ~ I'm in Southern California, Orange County... I am potting a grafted passion fruit.. How do I deal with growing another one in the pot before the original one dies in 7 years? Do put baby ones around it? I dont want to have to start over with a new young one every 7 years.. and have to wait for to fill my trellis again.. so appreciate your thoughts...
Thanks Holly. I have exactly same orange coloured passionfruit and its not tasting good unfortunately...Is it still good for us to consume the fruit? are there still going to be nutritional benefits? can someone expert advise please? If there is still going to be nutritional benefits...I will keep them
Hmmmm. I got some seeds for hardy passionfruit. Should I assume they're okay?
I feel terrible now, cause I planted two grafted passionfruit last year. Just getting my first fruit now.
Both plants have 5 point leaves all over, does this mean they're knackered? I've been pulling the suckers when I see them.
thankyou for sharing.. I think I will grow something else instead.
This pest's leaves are medicinal and work against anxiety, depression, insomnia, adhd, etc. So..if one would not be able to get rid of it, I would advice to start a herbal apothecary business 😂
It also works as a blood thinner to prevent strokes. Therefore, one needs to avoid taking it 2 weeks prior to having a surgery.
@@yinglee7672 Wow interesting to know! I hav low platelet to being with!
Frosts in the tropical climate! Really!!
🙋♀️noob here🙋♀️how does one know or find out whether their passionflower is grafted? Does rootstock also means grafted?
Id like to know the answer to this one too..
That picture you have at 6:21 looks more like what we call a feijoa or “pineapple guava”. Is that what you call “passion fruit”. I have a passion vine that has really different flowers.
Good spotting that is a Feijoa. It’s an image I use for my graphic titles but should have swapped it out for a passionfruit! 🙃
I'm confused by her statement that grafted plants are better suited to climates like the tropics where the plants are susceptible to fungal diseases, root rot and frosts. Frosts? In the tropics? I live in the tropics and our average temperature is 33C year round. We don't even get grafted passion fruit plants here. All from seed.
I'm realising that my poor plants are really hungry!!
So....thus was my passion fruit
😳
This thing should be banned given how easily you can get it from Bunnings and with how immensely difficult and unyielding this weed is to kill.
After watching this video I made a mental note to never buy a grafted passionfruit...and then I suddenly had a closer look at these tiny vines that were placed (rather nicely) everywhere amongst the weeds and fence. Sure enough - 5 tiny leaves (much smaller than you'd ever imagine a passionfruit leaf to be). I tugged on the vine and it was literally 10s of metres long. Found a passionfruit flower. Tugged on it and it went all the way to the very back of the yard where the vine had become thick and woody... Spent the next 5 minutes hauling up vines. Everything else in the yard is looking a little mellow thanks to summer but these are green and thriving. Within 5 minutes I had a giant handful (2 full clothes baskets) which I dumped. I don't think I'll ever get rid off it (seeing the stories) but thanks to this video it won't have any safe quarter in my backyard now as I'll remove it on sight.
I agree! Most people that are buying it have no idea what they’re buying! It feels like a bad trick. I’ve also heard the flowers are fruit are also apparently poisonous 🤔 surely that should be a reason not to sell it
Talk about ripped off at Bunnings & Nelly Kelly. I bought their 5 leaf plant too!!!! Nelly Kelly need to stop selling these weeds. Rip off merchants!
Bunnings Perfect plant promise. All their plants are guaranteed for 12 months*, so if you're not 100% happy, return your plant (with receipt) and they'll refund it.
Hi can i ask u something my passion fruit is producing empty passion fruits plz give me advice
