How fast does passion fruit start fruiting and what yield to expect?

Passion fruit is one of the faster-bearing fruit crops, often starting to flower and fruit within roughly 6 to 12 months of planting, with the vine reaching good production in the second year. Vines are productive for several years but tend to decline after 3 to 5 years and need replanting, so it is a shorter-cycle crop than tree fruits. Yield depends a lot on pollination, trellis, water, nutrition and pruning, and varies widely, so treat any single yield figure with caution. Income depends on whether you sell fresh fruit or for processing into juice and pulp, which is a major outlet for passion fruit.
