Growing, Harvesting and Eating Maypop. Also known as hardy passion fruit or passiflora incarnata, purple passionflower and wild passion vine. I finally harvested a few in my northern organic garden and decided to film it. Let me know what you think. Also tell me in the comments if you grow or ever tasted them.

Thank goodness I found this. I couldn't find a video that would give me straight information about the maypop.

How many vines do you let grow from the ground on your maypop? Is it like a grape where you only have 1 main cain until it reaches the trellis and then let the laterals grow?

@NotSoCrazyNinja 5 лет назад

I hear so many people saying maypops are basically weeds and grow all over the place, but out of over thirty years on this rock, I have seen them only once in person. The ones I saw were plentiful and covered a section of field, yet didn't shade out everything. They were rather small-leaved and the fruit turned a yellow color when ripe and tended to remain attached to the vine even when ripe. I live in a state where they "should" be plentiful, but my observations are saying otherwise. I ordered a transplant a year ago but it didn't make it. I'm kind of reluctant to order seeds due to hearing how much of a pain they are to get sprouted. I wasn't aware they need different genetics to make fruit, good to know. Means I probably do need to find some seeds.

@NotSoCrazyNinja 4 года назад

they do well here, in Arizona, once established. But, there's a caterpillar that will eat them to the nub. When found, we use a sharp twig to get rid of them because they carry a mild toxin.

They're easier than that if you live in the south. Just scatter the seeds along the fence line.

This is the first year that I have had maypop produce fruit. I planted it from seed last year. When the fruits drop from my vines there is no slimy pulp. There is just a dry web of seeds. Is this typical of first year fruit?

I live in Tennessee. I spied a single purple passion flower bloom on a vine while mowing the fenceline of our field yesterday. It was nearly straggled with kudzu and the vine was growing low to the ground. We have to mow weekly and spray yearly the kudzu to keep it from overtaking our field. I want to move these three vines and transplant them somewhere in my yard. Any advice for doing that?

@marschlosser4540 2 года назад

Family in N. Carolina tell me the best herbicide for kudzu is hungry animals. Everything seems to like the leaves and pigs will tunnel to China looking for the roots. They do a good job on bindweed, too. I'm in Arizona and we never had a problem with kudzu. If it ever showed up, it wouldn't last long LOL. Bindweed, tho, is a different problem but pigs love it.

I was given a maypop about 6 years ago. I get a few flowers every year but not a single fruit. I live in NJ and have honeybees on my property. What am I doing wrong? It’s not very big. I mulch it and it does completely die back every year. Second question - I just happened across a house a few blocks away that is going up for sale that has massive maypop vines with tons of plump green fruit - can I pick it green off the vine and let it ripen off vine? I won’t have access to the vine later in season when they ripen.

@BaPhi019 7 лет назад

How long did it take from sowing seeds to getting your first fruit? Is it as productive as edulis where fruited at almost every leaf node?

@NorthTropics 7 лет назад

I didn't get any fruit the first year. I did get many flowers though and this was while it was in a pot. This here was my fruit from it's second year but first year being in the ground. I got maybe 10 fruits total off of it. I left it in the ground to overwinter outside with a bit of protection so we'll see what it does this year.

@BaPhi019 7 лет назад

Unsually enough I got fruits from 4 out of 5 plants sowing from seed, it’s been about 6 months from sowing to fruit set. The largest one now is about the size of a chicken egg and I think that’s the biggest it will get until I plant them in the ground. How is your edulis doing and what is the variety? I bought cuttings grown of edulis Purple Possom and Red Rover from a guy on ebay, both grew like crazy in a 20 gallon pot. The roots is about the diameter of a penny now but still not one single flower on both, while the incarnata will flower and fruit when its barely 3 foot long growing from seed.

I have a nice colony of paw paw, here in Asheville, NC. My best success with them has been when I either planting the rotting fruit, just before winter. Or, saving the seeds in coconut core, moistened and refrigerated. The seeds need to be cold shocked and the fermentation seems important, for volume, though not critical. There are reasons for this which would require an entire video. But the most important thing is do not let them dry out.

@mister8800 4 года назад

I grow those and the white flower Caerulea all the time by mistake and they're actually pretty easy to do. Just soak them in water for about a day, some say warm water, but either will work. Put 3-4 seeds in each little pot and then put that little pot in a tray with a clear plastic lid on it. Mine love 3-4 hours of direct morning sun and then filtered light the rest of the way. I use those "to go" boxes from Stone Fire Grill, all clear plastic box with connecting snap on lid, or just use any kind of clear plastic cover or lid to put over the pot and maybe with a little rock on top to keep the wind from blowing the lid off. Just keep the humidity level up on these tropical seeds and you'll do fine.

Здравствуйте! Я купила в магазине плод маракуйи, семена намочила в мокрой ткани. Больше месяца - ростков нет. Как долго ждать ростков?

@NorthTropics 3 месяца назад

Я не рекомендую использовать бумажные полотенца для семян маракуйи. Иногда их бывает сложно прорастить. Я рекомендую поместить семена прямо в почву и поставить горшок на открытое летнее солнце. Что-то о солнечном свете и смене темперпарета со дня на ночь действительно помогает многим тропическим семенам прорасти. Удачи! I don't recommend using paper towels for passion fruit seeds. They can sometimes be a bit tricky to sprout. I recommend putting the seeds right into potting soil and putting the pot outside in the full summer sun. Something about the sunlight and change of temperature from day to night really helps a lot of tropical seeds sprout. Good luck!

@i.am.hooman2782 3 года назад

I work on a farm in Florida, USA. Passion fruit vines grow like crazy and adapt to its environment. However be careful with it's placement because it is an evasive species and can easily become uncontrollable and choke the root systems of your other plants. The passion flower has a taproot system that can be as deep as 18 inches, while simultaneously spanning horizontally a couple of centimeters from the top of the surface of the soil. If you decide to grow it, it would do very well inside of a greenhouse for temperature and humidity control, as well as remaining well contained. The only problem with using a greenhouse then would be 'how to pollinate' your vines. You can use a small watercolor brush or makeup brush and pollinate them yourself.
