My Nellie Kelly Passionfruit is growing really well. We have just had it's first summer on successful fruiting and now we are in the depths of winter in Melbourne and it is still fruiting. I mean to say it has plenty of set fruit on it, as well as flowers and smaller developing fruit. My question is do I just cut this back? It isn't going to ripen before I need to cut it back at the start of spring is it? Advice please :)
Well, you're right, that fruit probably isn't going to ripen, its obviously a very enthusiastic Passionfruit. I'd suggest leaving them on the vine until you trim it back, you never know what a little winter sunshine might do to just help them sweeten up a little bit.
