About this seedling
Why farmers choose it.
Passion fruit seedlings are fast-growing, high-yielding vines adapted to various climatic zones in Kenya, prized for their aromatic, juice-rich fruits and quick financial returns. Commercial orchards use grafted seedlings—usually pairing sweet purple scions with hardy yellow rootstocks—to ensure disease resistance and continuous production.
Planting guide
How to plant and care for this seedling
planting

soil
The grafted ones are recommended because they are resistant to fusarium wilt disease present in the soil.
maturity
After transplanting, the grafted purple passion takes 7-11 months to mature and bear fruits. Fruits ripen two months after flowering.
