P. Edulis var Flavicarpa

Pinellas Park, FL(Zone 9b)

My vine has already bloomed and I hand pollinated several flowers and now have about half dozen good size fruit that I can see. What's interesting about this vine is how the leaves differ so much on on one plant. There are at least 3 distinct leaf shapes on this one plant.

Jan,
How big will that fruit get?Can you remember if that's the same variety that I got from you at Corky's round-up? Don

Hi Don,
Yes it is the one I gave you. The fruit gets about 2-2.5 in long and about 1.5 in wide.
Slightly larger than a jumbo egg.

It's growing well.I don't suppose the GF cats will let it bloom and fruit.They seem to like it .Is the fruit full of seeds?

Here is the picture of the actual fruit that your plant came from. The GF's don't seem to bother my vine at all. I also have p. incense which seems to attract them more.
