Vigorous climbing plant with square stems and conspicuous stipules. The leaves are oval with prominent venation. The strongly scented white, pink and violet-coloured flower gives rise to an oval berry up to 20 cm in length. This has a greenish-white skin and juicy, yellow to dark pink pulp.
The giant granadilla not only has wonderful flowers but also large, tasty fruit that are less tart than related passion fruits and are reminiscent of honeydew melon.
As the flowers of the giant granadilla rarely open at the same time or they flower in unreachable places, we have never been able to pollinate them successfully to obtain the large fruits. However, its impressive flowers are delightful.
