A few days ago I noticed Barnacle Scale on my Frederick Passion Fruit. Boy do they look hungry! So I fed them some Temprid SC, according to the label for Bayer Leverage 360.
I killed the barnacle scale but there was a lot of die-back on the vine. Today I removed all the outer growth and happily found the leaders I had trained along the fence were still alive.
Yikes, that’s a lot of dead material. Do you expect much fruit this year? My PF vine is healthy, too bad it doesn’t fruit at all
I’ll be surprised if it produces fruit this year.
How are passion fruits doing?
I won the battle but lost the war. The plant died last year and I replaced it with a Pandorea pandorana vine.
Sorry to see that loss. How is this new plant doing?
They are slow to establish here but then beautiful in the Spring.
I lost mine last summer also, it got cooked in the heat wave. Replaced now by one of its offspring.
