Thanks Kristi. These ones are deliciously sweet. I mainly eat them raw or have them as a flavouring over icecream. I have so many at the moment I am thinking of doing some sort of preserve.
The vines were originally planted to go along my railings but it turned out that they can grow on flyscreens using their tendrils. So they just enclosed the whole verandah, which is screened. Now I have bucketfulls of fruit.
The Pied Butcherbird is carnivorous and very friendly. The passionfruits will just get shredded if the Sulphur-crested Cockatoos spot them, however. Fingers crossed.
At the moment the island is just full of mango fruit on old, tall, full and rounded trees from old farms that used to be here. I am thinking of doing my first mango chutney. Love the tabby.
