Passiflora ligularis
Also called Yellow Passionfruit
Sweet granadilla is a vigorous climbing vine in the passionflower genus, grown mainly for its sweet, aromatic yellow-orange fruit. It needs warm, frost-free conditions, support to climb on, and good drainage.
Passiflora ligularis, the sweet granadilla, grenadia, or sugarfruit, is a plant species in the passionflower genus Passiflora, family Passifloraceae.
Passiflora ligularis is native to Central and northwestern South America and has been introduced and cultivated in different regions of the world, for example, India, East and Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Australia and some pacific Islands. It is considered invasive in some countries including Haiti, Jamaica, Indonesia, the Galapagos Islands and Samoa. In New Caledonia its introduction is prohibited due to its probability of becoming a weed. The plant can affect agriculture by suppressing native vegetation, limiting access to places, and posing risks to livestock, as the sweet granadilla can have toxic properties. It can also invade forests and other natural habitats, where it can displace undergrowth species.
