woolybananasbrother Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Can anyone tell me, please, whether the big, bright orange fruit, about the size of a big egg, is indeed passion fruit and is it edible? They have bright red interiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 P. caerulea is commonly grown outdoors in gardens in France and Britain. But it's not worth eating the fruit as there's hardly any flesh. The edible ones are grown under glass or in the sub-tropics. http://www.kew.org/ksheets/passion.htmlhttp://www.passionflow.co.uk/common-passion-flower-passiflora-caerulea.htm[img]http://www.passionflow.co.uk/images/passiflora-caerulea-flower.jpg[/img][img]http://www.passionflow.co.uk/images/caerfruits.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybananasbrother Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 That's them. Thanks Cassis. There are loads on the vine to the extent they are blocking the entrance. Just have to wait til they fall off then as I'm not going to cut them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 They may not be worth eating, but they look good enough to eat. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
