  • If you have a great passion, the logical thing to do is see the fruit of it. That is simply what our agripreneuer this week is about. He may not know where the Passion fruit got its name from but has certainly mastered how to grow it. I am sure you are curious too..allow me to be your Google today.. Apparently, Passion Fruit was named by the 16th century Spanish Catholic Missionaries in the Amazon region of Brazil. They called it - Passionflower /” flower of the five wounds” after its purple flower which they believed resembled the five wounds of Christ. You are welcome.. .. BTW, have you checked out the first episode on the A-Z of Avocado farming? Here is a link for it • Using quality tree see... at it, subscribe and hit the notification bell to get alerts when a video is up! Will yah!

    This farmer is indeed passionate, knowledgeable and articulate👏🏾👏🏾 This is how we aspiring farmers ought to venture into agribusiness. The back story, where he shared how he failed the first time he ventured into business and the fact that he walked away for 7 yrs to later come back really touched on what most of us forget, that failure is just a set up for a comeback. Very thorough episode with great info. May your venture continue to thrive.

    you are a kind generous man to so willingly share so much information. I used an old grandmother suggestion to get my passionfruit off to a good start.
    This was her tip.
    Dig three holes each 2 feet deep and 18 inches wide.
    FIRST hole to be 2 feet to the LEFT of where you will be planting your new passionfruit
    SECOND hole to be 2 feet to the RIGHT of where you will be planting your new passionfruit
    THIRD hole to be 2 feet away from directly the front of where you will be planting your new passionfruit
    At the bottom of each hole put in one inch high of gypsum.
    Then on top of the gypsum in EACH hole put ONE complete BULLS LIVER in each hole, (had to order in from a local butcher) Do NOT chop up the liver - leave it completely intact.
    Then top each bulls liver with 2 inches of chicken or pidgeon manure. fresh is OK
    Now cover each hole with the dirt you removed. It will be higher than before but gradually the soil will subside as the bull's liver composts down
    i also mulch the soil in front of and up to six feet away from the plant (NEVER allowing the mulch to touch the stem of the plant) with a generous layer of pea straw to keep the soil it grows in nice and cool.
    my passionfruit hardly grew the first year but in the second year it must have tapped into the super rich soil 2 feet away. From then on it has been amazing. SIX years later it remains very green and fruits well.
