The purple Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) is a native of the rainforest margins in the Amazon region of Brazil and perhaps also of Paraguay and northern Argentina. It has adapted to the cooler sub-tropics and the high-altitude tropics. In New Zealand if cared for properly can produce enough to feed a family all season long. There are many other Passiflora species spread widely around the globe and about 50 species are native to New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The first commercial plantings of purple Passionfruit in New Zealand were at Kerikeri in 1927 and a few years later there were more at Auckland and Tauranga. Until the mid-1930? s, successful cultivation of Passionfruit was relatively easy but since then, the incidence of disease has made commercial production more difficult, reducing yields and increasing costs for growers.
