Think these were the only 2 other places (but soldout):
How to identify hybrids without waiting for flowers? I planted out seeds of edulis x incarnata from two of my genetically distinct vines that I crossed with the incarnata. The leaves all look like edulis to me
Greetings. I am from Ukraine. Zone 5b.
In Ukraine, we actively grow passionflower incarnate, tucumanensis, which can overwinter in the ground, and we also grow tropical passionflowers, especially various Edulis (with drift for wintering in a warm room).
In Ukraine, more than 10 varietal forms of incanrnata (working names not registered), including those crossed with eduls and other tropical passionflowers, have been bred. And also a number of polyploid hybrids between: tukumanensis-cincinnata-incarnata-edulis.
In 2024, my colleagues (Ihor lyany (“Ingvar Flaxen” on Facebook) and I received a beautiful polyploid hybrid between Edulis Flavvicarpa and incarnata, which has a weight of 145-157 grams and the highest sugar content of all passionflowers I know, with a similar taste to Edulis. It can bloom well in hot weather with insufficient humidity. Working name TJ-4 (“Timbo”).
There is our group “Passiflora in Ukraine” on Facebook.
How much is a photosanitary certificate do you know anyone in the US that has that variety right now that we could bug
Welcome to the forum @Vitamin! We’re glad to have you here.
Those are some good looking Passiflora. How’s the fertility on them, pretty reliable with lots of fruit set?
Yes, thank you for sharing this work and welcome to the forum!
Cold hardy Passiflora with good tasting fruit is definitely a worthwhile pursuit. I think regardless of the species they have a pretty flower.
There is an account I follow on Instagram and that person does a ton of Passiflora breeding. Hundreds if not thousands of seedlings so far.
Wow! Those are beautiful! I wonder how we can get some here to the US?
Do you know if a phytosanitary certificate is needed if we only got seeds? They wouldn’t be exact but surely some of the babies would be delightful.
I think all plant material from overseas/out of country needs them but I’m not sure. I know fig cuttings from another country definitely needs them so I’m sure, but not certain, that seeds would need them too when crossing borders and such.
I want this “timbo!”
