Hi I have this passion fruit vine that I would like to move to a sunny well protected corner of the garden. I live in Brisbane ( OZ ) at the moment the vine has lost all its greenery and looks dead. Maybe cause it is the middle of winter up here. I was wondering what is the best way of going about this. I was going to trimm the vine down to a couple of meters ,just leave all the like hardwood of the vine and dig as much of it out as possible. leave as much of the root ball intact and just trimm the really big roots. Is there anything I need to do to the site to ensure a successfuly transfer. ie soil prep at new site. Is there anything I can do to make the transfer any less traumatic ? Jarrod

Transfer as is. Don't cut!Leave large ball of dirt. Fertilize heavily with citrus pellets. Water in morning and hope it survives.

Passionfruit are prone to collar rot if the base of the trunk is disturbed/mulched over/sneezed at. I wuldn't bother, especially as they are so short-lived. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) Henry Crun: Did you use Mrs Beeton's Cookery Book, Min?

I've heard it said that the Nelly Kelly variety have a poor pulp yield, yet other's claim their the best thing since chocolate (sorry, but sliced bread really doesn't excite me). You seem to have some knowledge of the variety, what are your thoughts of the amount of pulp in the fruit? -- Wanda aka Willow The missing and definitely not to be taken seriously under any circumstances garden gnome http://www.2000cn.com.au/~willow ~~faeries are able to fly because they take themselves lightly~ Chookie <ehrebeniuk@foulspambegone.com.au> wrote in message news:ehrebeniuk-066F73.23091228072002@news-vip.optusnet.com.au... > In article <ahq6c3$sr$1@bunyip.cc.uq.edu.au>, > "Jarrod Driscoll" <driscoll@uq.net.au> wrote: > > > Hi I have this passion fruit vine that I would like to move to a sunny well > > protected corner of the garden. > <snip> > > Well, you could go to all that trouble, with a chancy result, or you could > pick up a Nelly Kelly in a pot for a few dollars and plant it where you want > it.

I suspect pulp yield is more connected to regular watering than anything else, though I've heard that there is some disease that passionfruit get where the pulp goes to nothing. The solution is to remove the old plant and put a new one in your garden, but somewhere else so it doesn't pick up the disease. I baked bread and chocolate chip muffins last night.
