What do you think of banana passionfruit, or Passiflora edulis 'Frederick'?
Sometime soon, I would like to grow banana passionfruit, primarily for its fruit:
According to Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_passionfruit
...several species of banana passionfruit used to be known under one species, Passiflora mollissima.
Now, two popular species are Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima and Passiflora tarminiana.
To add to the confusion, banana passionfruit has many different common names.
The banana passionfruit that I am interested in has pink flowers that are about 3 inches long.
The fruit is 4-6 inches long, is yellow, and is second in popularity (passionfruit-wise) only to Passiflora edulis.
The vine quickly grows to 15 feet or more.
Have you eaten the fruit?
If so, how fresh was the fruit, and what's your opinion?
Have you or someone you know grown the plant?
What do you think of banana passionfruit?
Thanks in advance,
raccoon
