Passionfruit

 Am about to try another passionfruit in my cold climate.  I haven't tried to
grow one for many years and even then the poor thing was knowcked off by the
cold before got it's adult teeth.

So, does a passionfruit need to be pollinated by another pssionfruit or can
I get by with one plant? (Assuming of course that I can get it to live).

Where in oz are you ?

I'm in Perth and have never had a problem planting passionfruit.
 It grows well in our soil which is horrible out the back. Where I am
on the coast it gets quite cold at night down at around 3 degrees and
by day its gusty most of the time. We don't even bother with fertliser
on these as they seem to grow really well.

 
Southern Tableslands of NSW.  It gets own to -4 regualryly here in winter
but I can manage to put the plant in a microclimate.

Do I need two plants do you know?

Mine has grown quite well and is by itself.
It fruits without any others.
Kiwi fruit however are another issue requiring two plants or more 1
male, and up to five females.
