why does my passionfruit vine flower but not produce fruit?

Answer 1

Off the top of my head

may need seperate male and female plants

may need a certain insect to polinate that is not present in your area

may be an ornamental variety

ok after a little research

Pollination is essential for fruit production on passion vines. Flowers of the purple passion vine normally set fruit when self-pollinated, but many yellow passion vines will not set fruit unless their flowers are dusted with pollen from a different vine that is genetically compatible. Thus, 2 plants grown from cuttings taken from the same vine cannot pollinate each other. Moreover, some vines from a group of seedlings can cross-pollinate and others cannot. This must be learned by trial and error as the plants develop. Ordinarily, many opportunities for cross-pollination exist in a large seedling population.

In some areas, trellis-grown vines of the yellow passionfruit require hand-pollination to assist fruit set. In the home garden, at least two vines of different parentage should be planted and allowed to intertwine for cross-pollination.

Answer 2

Passionfruit Flowers But No Fruit

Answer 3

I have both types in my garden,large purple flowers,beautiful & fragrant but has never bourne a single fruit , i have always taken this as a non fruiting type,another vine bears white less showy flowers & is a good distance away from the first,this vine has given me plenty of fruit of a reasonably good quality.

Answer 4

It must require a certain pollinator that you don't have in your area. Common passionflower pollinators include butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, wasps, and bats. Others are self-pollinated. You may have to manually pollinate the flower yourself to get it to fruit. I think you can take a Q-tip and rub it on the anthers (the male flower parts that produce pollen) and then rub it on the stigma (the female flower part in the middle) to transfer pollen and fertilize the ovary of the flower. It would probably be best if you didn't pollinate a flower with its own pollen - use a couple of different flowers. Good luck to you!

Answer 5

you probably have ornamental type. . as your vine gets older you might get what
looks like fruit but they are hollow.
you must have fruiting type to get fruit.
fruiting type have smaller flowers and less symmetrical looking
ornamental type flowers are larger and look very evenly spaced
petals
you can get fruit with only one vine you don't need two
but watch out they are very invasive to your yard

Answer 6

If your vine is not an ornamental, it may just require feeding

Answer 7

there are lots of differnt passion flowers -- only a couple of them produce edible fruit.

Answer 8

And what a lovely flower it is. It requires graphting, (getting together with another passion male). Didnt your mama ever discuss this with you?

Answer 9

the ones in tennessee have to have a mate and they do come from a nursery

Answer 10

It may not be pollinated
