Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa O.Deg.

A vigorous climbing vine. This can be 7 m long. It has long tendrils which enable it to attach to supports. The tendrils are reddish-purple. The leaves are larger than purple passionfruit. The fruit are slightly larger than purple passionfruit and with a yellow skin. They can be 6-12 cm long by 4-7 cm wide. The seeds are brown. The flowers open in the afternoon.

A tropical plant. It grows in the tropical lowlands. It benefits from sun except under very hot conditions (>38°C). Plants need good drainage and adequate water. They are very susceptible to frosts. They need temperatures above 12°C. It is like purple passionfruit but will grow in warmer locations. They commonly grow between sea level and 800 m in the tropics.

The pulp of the fruit is eaten fresh. The seeds are edible. The fruit are used to flavour food and drinks.

Plants are commonly grown from seed. They can be grown from cuttings. The vine needs to be pruned regularly. This reduces less vigorous growth and promotes flowering. Bottom heating the seeds at 20-26°C can result in germination at 1-2 weeks, at lower temperatures seeds can take up to 10 weeks to germinate.
