So I bought a passion fruit at the grocers the other day ($4.00 each - ouch) and it seems to be ripe now. I have never tried one, so I am looking forward to trying it, but I would like to try and seed it also. I'm thinking a couple vines in the AP system and a few in the dirt. Any tips?

Forget it passion fruit from seed normally don't work grafted passion fruit are best
Here in aus nellykelly on a good root stock seem to be a provan winner
When you plant it a good helping [2 kg of blood and bone ]in the bottom of the hole then 1 in dirt then the plant
Every year a good dressing of blood and bone will keep it going
as for in ap they will work but best in the dirt
