This passion fruit has been here for only a year and I still got this insane harvest! The passion fruit doesn’t just provide us with plentiful fruit but it also shades my chickens and gives them something to snack on. In return the passion fruit gets plenty of chicken poop which is a wonderful fertilizer!
At the end of the season I will prune it back hard to reset the plant. Then next season the new growth will be where all the new fruit will grow. This allows you to continue to get growth while keeping the whole thing manageable instead of being just a giant tangle of dead plants under new plants.

Caterpillars keep.eating all my leaves.
Am can’t even find them at our supermarkets here in the Northeast at least not regularly planning to grow some myself found a few cold hardy varieties hoping that’s me next year
Yum… topping for pavlova .
Incredible! Should post a recipe video of that mojito 👀
Oh I Love passion fruit! 😊
My family’s from Puerto Rico and we call it “parcha”. Passionfruit is my favorite fruit and I love it even when it’s underripe and really tart.
Definitely one of the plants I'm gonna be growing next year 👍
Nice, I think I will try to grow passion fruit.
Jacques is now the passion fruit daddy
For a second I thought you were going to pull a Homer backing into the bushes move. Cool passion fruit hedge!
Can it grow in the Atlanta area zone 8?
I want a passion frute tree were did you ordered it from?
Host plant to Gulf Fritillary butterflies. 💜
Oh no. I just planted a passionfruit…I don’t think I’ve given it enough room.
This is my most favorite fruit ever, slso brings sweet memories of my greatnanny
About two months ago my son’s best friend just gifted us a passionfruit and even planted it with my son I am grateful. The downside is my husband. Weed whacked a couple of branches, but it’s doing good.
Your lucky you live in a temperate climate, I live in Scotland and growing stuff at this time of year can be hell, love yours and epics channel, I’ve learnt a lot and currently growing garlic, onion, spring onion, chard, carrots , potatoe. Going to invest in greenhouse or tunnel , my Water melon and cucumber failed miserably 😅
Wow wow wow! So happy to see all that fruit! My passionfruit refuses to flower 😅
What zone are you in?
My fsvorite fruit
You are so lucky 😭😭😭
Passion of christ
I also have Frederick's, I'm addicted to them now, delicious!
What type of passion is that and did you pick it for flavor or what was the goal or idea or did you just get whatever passion seeds you could get your hands on
Would love to know more about what you do with your abundant harvest! My fridge overfloweth
I'm so lame – I just pick them as they fall. Never thought to shake it up to harvest. 😂 Thanks, Jaques!
I wish I could save up to pursue this kind of lifestyle. It seems like a lot of work, but very healing
One of our favorites over here in Florida! Need to get some of those genetics over here! I will cover the postage 🙂 thanks for the awesome content!
I'm so jealous. I wish I could grow passion fruit in zone 5
How do you juice one of these?
Ginger update please
eating off the ground in an animal pen is an amazing way to get E-coli
There’s a passion fruit plant on the fence of my wife’s work. I just picked a couple day, gonna make it into a jam 😊
I grow passion fruit too how do you get them SO pulpy 🤩
Where did you get your harvesting basket?
One of my friends must have had super fertile and well irrigated soil because his passion fruit vine climbed over his house. One side of his house is completely green. He could have dealt with it by chopping a main "artery" of the vine. But he didn't. Now he has more passion fruits than god. 😂
Oh, clever! I love the idea of it providing shade for the chickens.
Can you grow passion fruit in zone 8B
I would like some seeds. I am only able to get the tart variety here in India.
I never understand why people wash bananas, pineapples, avocado etc
Amazing 🎉 do you know if it is ok to use dog poop as fertiliser for growing food (if it’s been composted with food scraps etc)? I see mixed reviews, but I noticed you mentioned the chicken poop being helpful 😊
Passion fruit looks so beautiful
In what grow area are you? I’d love to try to grow some passion fruit
