How much is a sweet granadilla passion fruit seedling per plant? Characteristics and nutrient introduction

Do you like eating passion fruit? Passion fruit also has many varieties, and among the yellow passion fruits one is the sweet granadilla from Brazil. Let's learn about it together!

Sweet granadilla was introduced from Brazil, with large and round leaves, thick and sturdy stems with four ridges, and a fruit shape that is long and pointed, similar to a papaya or a rugby ball, reaching up to 18 cm in length and weighing 320~420 g. The ripe fruit has a yellow skin, and after cutting it open and eating it with a spoon, the unique aroma and sweet, slightly sour juice are truly delicious. After finishing the seeded flesh, lift up the inner sac wall; the soft, powdery white fluff layer below is also edible, giving off a cantaloupe-like fragrance, with a fragrant and lightly sweet flavor. The riper the fruit, the stronger the cantaloupe aroma. Hand pollination can effectively improve fruit set. We observed that the best pollination time is 12~15 o'clock, and four days after pollination the fruit grows to the size of an egg, growing rapidly. It fruits abundantly in summer and winter, with sporadic fruiting at other times. The flowers are large, brightly colored, and fragrant (noticeable within 2 m), making it an excellent variety for both ornamental and edible use.

Sweet granadilla flowers open in the morning with the three stigmas positioned below and relatively far from the stamens above. After midday, the stigmas gradually curl upward and the stamens turn downward, and the two may even touch. At this time, if there are no bees or other insects, there may be few fruits or flowers may bloom without setting fruit. Therefore, carrying out hand pollination at 12~15 o'clock, when the temperature is highest, is most effective and makes it easiest to bear abundant fruit.
