Paphos Life

Don't forget all the carbon it gets from the air.

When we arrived here thirty odd years ago, the Cypriots called them Sexy fruit, even in the stores

Unfortunately they remind me of frog spawn!

A friend of ours gave us a cutting from a Dragon fruit, just pushed it into the earth, and a year or two later it is over a metre high in all directions, no sign of fruit yet.

Your post is quite a coincidence HIC. I was just wondering earlier this morning if passion fruit grew well in Cyprus and how easy it would be to grow.

I've not long come back from a holiday where I was starting and ending my day with passion fruit - in the morning scooped over plain yoghurt for breakfast, and in the evening in my rum after dinner!

I love the flowers too

I love Passion fruit too. Had one in ground when we bought house but it died. Always mean to plant another one - you have inspired me again, HIC. Have two Pomegranates and they are doing quite well in their second year. Not a good year for Apricots, however x

And you could always try your hand at making passionfruit gin, Lloyd.

HIC, how many years do they take from planting until fruiting? I think we’ve lost a couple of trees this year so could be an option to try as a replacement.

Thanks

Polemi peeps, as we get winter frost we may need to protect any plants with fleece

Shame about your fig tree, Lloyd. I loooove figs. For breakfast, for snacks, for dessert ... I eat loads. One of my trees is a double cropper, so I always make fig jam and fig chutney too, and a friend has a dehydrator to make dried fruit ...

Thanks HIC, I had not scrolled all the way down the screen when I started to type my post.
