Hi fellow passionflower nuts.
After learning more, I realized I had to hand cross my p. vitifolia with another passion to get fruit. So about a month ago I started pollinating some vitifolia with edulis. And now I have about 10 fruits. They are beautiful!
But since I've never gotten fruit off of this one, need some help determining ripeness. Is this like most passions in that the fruit should begin to wrinkle before removing from the vine? I want the seeds to see if they'll produce anything I like. Of course, going to taste the fruit too. Thanks
