NZ PASSIONFRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Passionfruit produces a continuous crop, with flowering and fruit set happening at the same time as the first fruit ripens. This extends the harvest season of passionfruit over several months, commencing in late January through to September. Frosts may reduce the crop during the middle of the year and pruning terminates the ripening season in early spring...
