Passiflora maliformis

Passion fruit Sweet Calabash

Perennial climbing plant with oval green leaves tapering towards the point and flowers borne in the leaf axils. The pink, green and yellow passion flower has a tripartite style, surrounded by five spotted male stamens. The round, hard-skinned fruit is green and contains a large number of seeds in a juicy pulp.

The fruits of this passion flower variety are creamier and less acidic than the better known Passiflora edulis. It is also self-pollinating and grows at slightly lower temperatures.

These passion fruit with their characteristic hard skin fall to the ground when ripe. We then collect them for selling in the shop or presenting at tastings.
