From that standpoint, Passion Fruit Vine is a dream plant.<\/p>\n<p>This incredibly hardy vine will grow on just about anything, so it has many great uses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fruit<\/strong>: The tasty &#8220;maracuya&#8221; passion fruit has a hard shell that you break open and find inside a loose collection of jellied seeds.  I used to tell my daughter that they were &#8220;frog eggs&#8221; and when you chew them, the crunchiness is from the baby frog bones inside them.  Maybe that would gross out a lot of kids but Serafina was used to these kinds of stories so she knew when I was joking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flowers<\/strong>:  The passion fruit flower is one of the most beautiful in the world.  It&#8217;s very large, with lots of exorbitant detail&#8230; a flower right out of a tropical dream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shade<\/strong>: We use this vine to grow on top of shade structures, because it&#8217;s such a fast grower and it has broad leaves that are great for blocking the sun.  We&#8217;re using it on two structures already:  <a href=\"https:\/\/ranchodelicioso.com\/living-shade-garden-unit\/\">Living Shade Garden Unit<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ranchodelicioso.com\/geodesic-dome\">Monkey Dome<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy<\/strong>: Don&#8217;t want to see something?  Or need privacy?  You can use this vine to cover a big pile of wood or rubbish.  Or block the view of an ugly house or structure by making a trellis to grow this vine on.  It will not only beautify, but will give you fruit too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Permaculturists like to talk about &#8220;stacking functions&#8221; which means that we try to find multiple uses for an given thing.
