The listing, YELLOW P.ASSION FRUIT (5 SEEDS) has ended.
The Yellow Passion Fruit is one of several species of the genus -all woody, perennial vines native to the tropical Americas- that produce edible fruits. It is a fast-growing vine and is also suitable for ornamental screening purposes. The alternate curly leaves are deeply 3-lobed, and the vines climb readily by means of long tendrils in each leaf axil.
The yellow passion fruit is an excellent home fruit and offers great possibilities for commercialization in the American Tropics.
The Purple Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is extensively cultivated in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Levant. It has a flavor superior to that of the yellow type but has not grown well at Mayaguez (Puerto-Rico) due to a wilt disease, probably caused by a species of Fusarium, which kills the plants.
