Loads of fruit but all empty

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I have a lovely strong passionflower that flowers practically all year and has loads of large,green fruits but they are all empty and seedless. I 've planted another vine next to it in case it was lacking a pollinator but that has yet to flower. Why are the fruits empty?

It's been in the ground about 4 or 5 years. It's P. Byron Beauty.

Empty fruit on hybrids is very common. I have p.'Byron Beauty' and it has produced maybe 1 or 2 seeds out of dozens of fruit. If you want edible fruit, try p.edulis or p.edulis flavicarpa, p.alata or p.quadrangularis. There are many more, this is just a short suggestion.

Thank you for your reply. I have an P. edulis " Black Beauty " dripping with lovely, sweet juice fruits and just wondered why P. BB had empty fruits.
