At least you got some fruit out of it, my original one went 20 feet up a neighbours tree, lovely flowers and never a fruit of any kind. And still the suckers coming up metres away from the original plant, grrr.
Ive planted grafted passionfruit at least 6 times in two gardens, but the same thing always happens no matter how carefully I look after them. From now it is seed or cuttings, no more bloody grafts.
