Description:
Passiflora edulis Panama Gold is a tropical passionfruit variety, known for its vibrant golden-yellow fruit and wonderfully sweet flavour. This hardy vine features glossy green foliage and curly tendrils that help it climb and secure itself to trellises, fences, or other support structures. The Panama Gold variety produces striking white and purple flowers, followed by the large, golden fruit that is highly prized for its fragrant and juicy pulp. The fruit has smooth, yellow skin and is much sweeter than other passionfruit varieties, making it perfect for eating fresh, or using in desserts, drinks, and cooking. Panama Gold typically starts bearing fruit within 18 months of planting, offering a quick and rewarding harvest. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this variety is perfect for subtropical and tropical regions of Australia, providing both an attractive garden feature and a delicious crop.
