You are purchasing one 4-10'' tall (pot height is not included) Medium-Large size fruit PURPLE Passion Fruit Passiflora Edulis Potted Seedling Tree Starter Plant in 2.5'' square pot. It is a fast, vigorous grower that establishes quickly and begins blooming usually in the first seasonThe Passion fruit vine is a shallow-rooted, woody, perennial, climbing by means of tendrils. The alternate, evergreen leaves, deeply 3-lobed when mature, are finely toothed, 3 to 8 in (7.5-20 cm) long, deep-green and glossy above, paler and dull beneath, and, like the young stems and tendrils, tinged with red or purple, especially in the yellow form. A single, fragrant flower, 2 to 3 in (5-7.5 cm) wide, is borne at each node on the new growth.In Florida, blooming season is from mid-March to mid-November.The purple form has black seeds, the yellow - brown seeds. The yellow form has a more vigorous vine and generally larger fruit than the purple, but the pulp of the purple is less acid, richer in aroma and flavor, and has a higher proportion of juice-35-38%. Passionfruit vines are usually grown from seeds. With the yellow form, seedling variation provides cross-pollination and helps overcome the problem of self-sterility.This vine will do extremely well in California and Florida, and will produce fruit in colder states as well as it can be grown in a pot and brought in for the winter.Fruit: The nearly round or ovoid fruit, 1-1/2 to 3 inches wide, has a tough rind that is smooth and waxy. Within is a cavity more or less filled with an aromatic mass of double walled, membranous sacs containing orange-colored, pulpy juice and as many as 250 small, hard, dark brown or black, pitted seeds. The unique flavor is appealing, musky, guava-like and sweet/tart to tart.The fruit is a very delicious and considered one of the best tasting of the Passion Fruits.
