This is another pest, I had to remove 2 plants. They can overwhelm a small garden. My sister likes to eat passion fruit though.

If you have lots of land, then it’s not a problem. I go to Hawaii once a year and get some of my best passion fruit there.
I have less than 1/8 of an acre here. So I trim my fruit trees down to manageable level, the height that I can pick comfortably without ladder and also that they don’t overwhelm other fruit trees.
The only exception is my apricot tree, you can’t find good apricots at the supermarket ever, they might look good, but they lack of taste.

I planted 10 passion fruit vines last year in September. There's only 1 remaining because the birds have chewed off all the leaves, but the remainer is doing fine. I'm going to give it a "roof" where it can climb.

mine grow up and over a metal fence. they love it and I am more than happy to let them grow. The sheep eat anything that decides to grow on their side of the fence and anything that tryies to make a move on taking over the lawm, gets mowed!

I have noticed that as well. My ancient tree (planted back in the 1960's) has such a wonderful taste. the supermarket stuff is small, bland, mushy and well awful really. I have been collecting the fruit stones of the ones we eat for breakfast. I am going to try to get them germinating and growing. It will probably be a fruitless exercise but there is no harm in trying.

I did it, I successfully detached the Florida Giant Mulberry from the Silk Hope, it has lots of roots left, I think it should live.
I also up potted my Red Baron Peach.
