When to plant passionfruit in Hobart

Honest answer: passionfruit is a poor fit for Hobart. Hobart's cool temperate climate doesn't give it a reliable sowing or transplanting window in a typical year. Established plants can still crop November – March.

Cool temperate zone tip

Plant in late spring against a north-facing wall in Melbourne and treat the vine as fast but short-lived.

Frost matters here: the last frost around Hobart typically falls in October, with the first returning around April. Passionfruit is frost-sensitive, so keep it inside that frost-free run.
