This (Passiflora incarnata) is supposed to be self-sterile, but
mine has set fruit. No, I do NOT believe that there is another
in the vicinity :-)

I don't think that it will ripen, though.

I found that with other self sterile passiflora that you do sometimes
get what appear to be fruit but they are empty and contain no seed or
pulp , but I have never managed to grow incanata so well done!

Thanks! Yes, it's probably empty. I failed several times, but am
growing it in the rain shadow of the eaves, under some Cyclamen coum
and a Garry elliptica. It's not an ideal aspect, as it faces north
west, but is the one I have. It gets sufficiently little direct rain
there that I almost never have to remove weeds :-)
