It's that time of the year when the passion fruit are starting to appear providing us with delicious tangy fruit. But, if you don't keep the water up to them the flowers will shrivel up and the fruit become stunted.
We have two four month old plants that have taken off at a rapid rate, all due to good soil and lots of water, never letting them dry out. They will not however fruit well for a few years just concentrating on growth, which is normal.
Our older plant on the other hand is going to have an abundance of fruit after a rocky start this summer. I didn't realise the watering system wasn't working and it became very distressed in only a few days. Lots of watering later and it has recovered well, flowering and starting to form fruit.
Keep the water up and be rewarded with luscious fruit.
Happy gardening
Bronwyn
