Will a passion fruit vine grow from the seed of the fruit if I plant it?

Question

Or do I need to grow from a cutting?

Cheers

Answer 1

Out of all the answers people gave not one of them answered your question, the first part at least. Yes Dear you can grow one from seed. I just grew a mango tree from seed and they told me I could not do it. I put it in a paper towel and kept it moist in a glass jar in a semi-dark room and now I have about 6 mango trees doing wonderful. I'm curious to see what they will do in the type of climate we have in West Virginia, but if I was You I would give it a try, never know till ya do. Good Luck

Answer 2

Yes, It will grow.
Propagate passionfruit from seed so the new vines establish themselves through the wet season. The seed doesn’t stay viable for long. So, take seed from a ripe fruit and spread it over the soil of a seedling tray or in a prepared spot next to a trellis. Cover with a light layer of compost and keep moist until the little seedlings are at least 10cm /4inc high. Then transplant if you start them in a tray.
If you fertilise them well with good farmyard type manure they could fruit the first year.
You must ALWAYS steralise planting sites for nematodes before planting.

Answer 3

Best method of propagating Passiflora (Passion Flower) by Layering the stems in spring or plant semi-ripe cuttings in a cold frame in summer.

Layering is to bend the lower branches into the soil and hold them there with clips eventually roots will appear and then separate the rooted stem from the mother plant and pot on.

Answer 4

I think you can grow from seed, no idea of the preparation there, cuttings is the usual method.

You need grafted plants and these are best obtained from specialist fruit tree nurseries. Hybrid passionfruit varieties have self-compatible flowers so no pollinator is required.
