Amber Trax is an evolutionary channel showcasing diverse ways to connect with nature. In its early days it was called Garden Tara and was based on my mindful gardening business and blog sharing horticultural practices for the mindful gardener. Whilst we still help people with their gardens, we also help people with landscape photography, camping and nomadic living skills! 😁
We know the vines do not last more than 3-6 years and need to be replanted. Kindly show us how to propagate and nurture the new plant after cutting from the parent plant.
So to summarize, cut it back after fruiting. Cut it like a rose bush. Ie Cut away dead wood and bring it back to a node or three off any live main root stock?
Hi Bernard, typically when you have flowers but no fruit you have a pollination problem. No bees and no hover flies. You can pollinate the flowers yourself by touching your finger on the yellow polling sacks then touching the sticky part of the flower that protrudes from the front of the flower (stamin). For a longer term option I’d be planting beneficial insect plants (annuals, perennials and shrubs).
I understand why that fruit is so expensive, it seems quite a hard work to get few fruits from. To kill my curiosity, could anyone be kind enough to answer the following questions? Thanks. 1) how long does it take to harvest a fruit from the seed. 2) how many fruits can we get from a vertical square metre
You typically grow from a grafted or small plant rather than a seed. If you have a happy productive plant you it can spread to maybe 12m^2 and will produce fruit in numbers around 400+, I am in Melbourne growing a Nellie Kellie brand grafted purple passionfruit
Helloooooooooooooo I have just found your channel fantastic- I’m so hesitant to prune my passion fruit as I’m concerned I will damage her!!! I have a lot of dead branches to remove in the (original growth) section it’s going so well every where else.... 😬😬😬 do you (anyone else have any tips to share for keeping your passion fruit AMAZING???
That is so good and thoughtful Amber. With a big multi litre reserviour and a wicking system, it should be possible for councils, and concerned citizens to provide water for the bees.
Wow I've been growing a vine of passion fruit for three years didn't know they were edible but mine doesn't change colors they're just green. not on a thick Vine like that though just a vine. In Kentucky
Yes, mine in southern australia are still green too, but they don't get full sun. Hopefully they will ripen soon even though they are next to a forest.
I am in Sydney start of summer had fruit but not till the end of summer was it ready. Has flowered a second time waiting for the same thing around 2 months
