The Passion Fruit Vine is famous for producing the "passion fruit". An purplish, egg-shaped fruit with a leathery hide reveals inside, a pudding-like mass, with edible seeds. It can be scooped out or sucked out of the halved fruit. This vine is often invasive.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
