When should I prune my passionfruit vine and how much can I take off?
Hey Nerida, prune Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) in winter or early spring as long as there is no threat of more frost.
You can prune them back quite firmly about once every two years to around 30cms from the ground. Pruning extends their rather short lives (3-4 years normally).
If the vine has a number of leaders (more than 3) then take out the oldest leaving 3.
It fruits on new growth so prune to promote this.
