This is a variation of the purple passionfruit which tends to be slightly less cold tolerant but is able to withstandFusarium wilt and nematodes. It is said that this variety does better and is more fruitful if it is allowed to climb a tali tree rather than a trellis. Tall acacias are good for this purpose adding nitrogen fixing and long term timber to their functions.
There is said to be more juice to pulp compared with the purple passionfruit.
