What will I need to know to grow passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) in Western North Carolina?

Question

I'd like to know anything I can about growing these in this area.

Answer 1

Is the climate Sub-tropical? Here on the Big-Island they Lilikoi(passion fruit) need only to be cut back. There vines run rampant and quickly take over fences and any other plants in it's path.

If you plant it and it takes off quickly that's about all you need to do.
