Granadilla Tree - Passion Fruit

The Granadilla tree, commonly known as Passion Fruit, is a vigorous, climbing vine prized for its exotic, aromatic fruits and stunning flowers. This tropical to subtropical plant is beloved by gardeners for its ornamental value and delicious, nutritious fruits. Passiflora edulis adapts well to various climates, making it suitable for both commercial cultivation and home gardens.

Granadilla vines can grow up to 15-20 feet long, featuring dark green, glossy leaves and intricate, purple-white flowers. The fruit is round to oval, with a tough purple or yellow rind when ripe, encasing a juicy, seed-filled pulp with a unique sweet-tart flavor.

To cultivate a thriving Granadilla tree, plant it in a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. These vines prefer a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. Provide a strong support structure, as the plant will climb and spread. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to promote healthy growth and fruit production.

Prune your Granadilla vine annually to manage its size and encourage new growth. This also helps improve air circulation and sunlight penetration, which is crucial for fruit development. The plant typically begins fruiting within the first year of planting, with peak production occurring in 2-3 years.

Harvest Granadilla fruits when they change color and fall from the vine naturally, usually 60-80 days after flowering. The fruits are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, offering numerous health benefits. They're perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or use in desserts and cocktails.

With proper care, your Granadilla tree will provide a bountiful harvest of exotic fruits and serve as a stunning ornamental feature in your garden. Its rapid growth, beautiful flowers, and delicious fruits make it an excellent addition to any tropical or subtropical landscape.
