G'day
Does anyone here grow Hawaiian Passionfruit and have a spare fruit that
I could use for seed please? I've just tasted this variety and it's a
'must have'. Of course, I'll pay for postage costs etc.
Thanks heaps
Bronwyn ;-)

Not sure what you mean by Hawaiian passion fruit as the passion fruit was
introduced to Hawaii from Australia around 1920
so you would have been eating the Australian passion fruit
but it originally from Brazil
but if you insist, I will try to get some from a friend in Hawaii

Perhaps a check first with AQIS to see if such can be brought in?

Easy done, he can stuff them into his shoes, then the seeds will be able to
get a foothold in the ground when he gets here

Perhaps if he plants his feet.
The point is that foreign plant diseases etc can be introduced if proper care
is not taken with seeds and plant material.
