Jorge Ochoa, Instructor in Horticulture at Long Beach City College, gives the West Los Angeles Chapter a brilliant talk on Passionfruit.As chapters provide information on upcoming meetings, they will be posted either on the Events calendar or on that Chapter’s page under Chapters.
Most chapters schedule field trips every other month. Click Chapters in the Menu above for one near you.
The best way to know if a variety of fruit should be in your garden is to taste the fruit before buying the tree. Check out our calendar for events.
Definitely a work in progress, but we are attempting to put together a listing of our favorite nurseries, both local and online. Any recommendations gratefully received. Alden Lane Nursery 981 Alden Lane Livermore. CA Read more…

We are a non-profit organization of (mostly) amateur fruit growers. We do not sell seeds, or plants, or anything else. In any case, since you are in Peru and the jaboticoba comes originally from Brazil, I would think you could find what you are looking for more locally than California

I learned about your organization from one of IV Organics videos on YouTube. I love gardening and I am in the process turning my home garden into a urban fruit forest. Trying to learn as much as I can about tropical and exotic plantsand fruit trees as well as to build acollection for my garden.

I wish I had been at the passion fruit talk as I need some advice.
I have a 5 year old passion fruit vine that has produced amazing flowers the last three years but never fruits. It gets sun all day long, has good drainage and I have even hand pollinated some to no avail. I have another vine about twenty feet away that produces large amounts of fruit.
Thoughts???
Thanks!

Bryan, I am no expert but some passiflora varieties are grown more for their flowers than their fruit. Your shy bearer — with its amazing flowers — might be one of those.

You should find your local chapter on the Chapters page. All plant sales, field trips, etc are run by them.
