The Red Banana Passionfruit (Passiflora antioquiensis) is a stunning tropical vine native to the cloud forests of Colombia. Known for its large, striking pink flowers and unique, banana-shaped yellow fruits, this exotic plant thrives in cooler, high-altitude regions. The fruit is not only visually appealing but also deliciously sweet, with a refreshing tropical flavor that makes it perfect for eating fresh or using in desserts and drinks. Let’s explore growing this rare passionfruit to enjoying its tasty fruits! They’re also sometimes called vanilla passionfruit.

Thank you. 🙏
Love passionfruit.
New variety would be great.
The the flower beautiful as well.
I wonder why bees don't like it.
Could you use cotton swabs to pollinate the flowers?
Wow amaze balls, good on you for self pollinating, excellent job!🎉
Wow, now of to find one to see if I can grow it here in Taranaki
Such an amazing looking plant! Just don't let your dog eat it ☠️
I have grown this in Auckland for years and have never needed to pollinate the flowers to get fruit. Maybe they self-pollinate – I've never noticed any bees etc showing any interest. However, in the hottest weather in mid-summer the flowers often do not set. At the moment (October) I am getting excellent setting, and expect to get another flush of fruit in autumn (fall).
"Beautiful color" Ummmmm,,,,are we looking at the same thing here?!?! Looked like rotten snot to me….
Where can I obtain seeds?
So these red banana passionfruit must be different from the banana passionfruit I ate as a kid, it was not that nice.
Also when I googled banana passionfruit there's a warning from the National Pest Plant Accord that it's banned from sale, propagation and distribution in NZ. Seriously?
Banana passion grow wild in nz just hard to come by use to eat heaps when i was young maybe not that variety
You’re back…missed you and your videos…so much knowledge and always learning something new.
