Chris Schema · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8B · 15° to 20° F · Comment About Pruning
Pruning is a must to keep the vine healthy. Prune off less vigorous growth and occasionally prune back vigorous growth to promote flowering. The long tendrils need lots of support for climbing. When established, and without care, the passion fruit can easily overtake other garden plants, shading them from sun.
