Passion Fruit Flowers But No Fruit
Bill t ken thanks for alowing me my twoo bobs worth.
Passion fruit flowers but no fruit. The answer is simple and is usually to do with pollination or the lack of it. The purple passion fruit is much more sensitive to cold temperatures than its yellow counterpart as well as more susceptible to soil diseases. Another way is to pluck a flower off and introduce this to the next flower and so on over the plant.
Blooms are lovely but they soon lead to resource. A fertiliser high in nitrogen promotes plenty of passionfruit leaf growth at the expense of fruit and flowers. Passion vine flowers but no fruit belonging to the family of passifloraceae the vines can produce so many fruits that it was banned in some places such as some community gardens.
Another ploy is to use a suitable brush. Panama red flowers are. Pollination is essential for fruit production on passion vines.
Hand pollination of passion fruit flower. You can use a dainty paint brush to collect the pollen from the anther and spread it on the stigmas. Many species need several years to establish a solid root system before they begin to set blooms.
Fertilise with compost citrus foods chicken manure or well rotted cow manure. So the cultivar that you selected to grow may be directly related to why your passion flower is not fruiting. Passion flowers require very exacting conditions to excite the urge to bloom.
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. You can even put used teabags at the base of established vines leaving them to seep into the soil as fertiliser. Thus 2 plants grown from cuttings taken from the same vine cannot pollinate each other.
