Hi everyone,
I’ve got two 2-year-old passionfruit vines that aren’t producing any fruit. They’re covered in flowers, but none of them seem to set.
I’ve tried hand-pollinating with a soft makeup brush, but still no luck. There are bees around in the afternoons, so I assumed pollination wouldn’t be an issue. I’ve also been supplementing with liquid potash.
I’ve noticed ants on the flowers — could they be affecting fruit?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Ants are pollinators my friend.
Are you sure its not just an ornamental passionfruit? There are a few that are just for the pretty flowers but bear no fruit
I think mine was three or four years before it it actually had a go a setting fruit after flowering then the two following years (last year and now) we get more than we can keep up with without freezing some! So maybe just time?
Big green dark leaves – is it getting enough sunlight?
Hey those flowers will develop into fruits. Just add time n patience
