Banana passionfruit (Passiflora mollissima)
Banana passionfruit
A vigorous climbing vine with three-fingered leaves. Pink tubular flowers throughout the year develop into oval fruit that turn yellow when ripe.
Treatment methods
- Pull the roots up. Cut the plant off above ground or tie the stems in the air to prevent the vines touching the ground and growing new roots.
- If there are large masses of foliage on the ground, spray with Grazon 6m/L + penetrant.
- Where you can't pull the roots up, use Banvine at a vine application rate or Grazon at a gorse application rate.
- Stump swab: Escort 1g/L water; or Tordon BK 100ml/L; or Banvine 200/L
