Oh passion fruit grow really well in New Zealand, the climate there is similar to Ireland.
The purple passionfruit is a native of Brazil.
Commercial growers in cooler climates often use hybrid varieties of the purple and golden passionfruit. That way they get a plant that tolerates cooler weather. (The hybrids have all kinds of fancy names, SuperSweet, Lacey, Purple Gold etc.)
In a climate with cooler winters you want a purple passionfruit (P.edulis), or even a hybrid cultivar.

Is it unusual to grow passion fruits in the uk?
P. edulis is the one that tastes like a bottle of sweet cologne and when you buy passion fruit at Tescos then that is the one.
Background imformation on passiflora : passiflora grows in the wild in the rainforests of South America, they have determinated several hundred Varieties of which a number have been taken into commercial production to be sold as a spectacular climbing plant for gardens and some for Fruit - juice production. The first expedition coming across these Rare flowers were flabbergasted and thought that these plants were sent from God.

I understand, first job i had was milking cows.
John here is a beef cattle farmer, mainly he has breeding cows and on-sells their weaned calves + has sheep. The ones i photographed are mostly heifer calves that he is keeping + few one way or another didn't suit standards for the calf sale he sold in on Friday.
Myself i try and avoid anything to do with killing trips, and would like to have small place with Brown Swiss cows for "looking at" mowing the lawns
PS. and milk maid!!

I don't have milkmaid on my profile
We have small, black hardy native cattle here, called Kerry cows. They might cut your lawn for you.

Perhaps Molly you could practice on Kerry Cattle before adding new found skill to ur profile
Best achievement for the Brown Swiss breed so far at the Royal Welsh, Mark and Sian Williams, Carmarthen took the reserve position with second home-bred second lactation, Elite WR Lovely V8 88.
The Kerry cattle breed is generally considered to be a special and quite rare animal. They originated in County Kerry
Kerry cattle probably descended from an ancient form of Celtic Shorthorn
Shorthorn are quite common both here in Australia and New Zealand Molly, we have cows here on this farm with shorthorn in them.
The calf on the left in post # 485 in this thread has shorthorn in it.

have stopped pestering me with their silly petty off topic comments after I said I am not a muslim.
this only proves the christians have no self reflection.
when they thought I was arab/muslim none of the facts and documents mattered. they were just flooding the room and coming with slanderous comments.
it says alot about them.
impossible to take them seriously after this
no matter what they say,how they say it, and the topic they are posting on
it is
IMPOSSIBLE

Rob, mine didn't have fruit either.
But then I wouldn't expect it to fruit in this climate anyway
