It’s yellow. It says it prefers warm temperate to cool temperate but tolerates frosts? I don’t know if it would live. It would really depend on where in Canada. It says it’s not really available in June and July (at least on that site) and the seeds are out of stock on another site. https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/buy/passionfruit-banana-vine.htm https://www.theseedcollection.com.au/banana-passionfruit The first link says something about quarantine zones within Australia too 🤔 There’s another thought. I don’t know if Canada has any laws or regulations on bringing in fruit or plants from other countries so maybe check that out first before you bring anything in permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 1 point 5 months ago (2 children) You need an import license. I've actually had reasonable success finding seeds in Canada. Where I am we actually worry more about drought and high heat. Like hopefully this year I've set up my bell peppers such that they wont drop their flowers during heat waves. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone [S] 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) Wow, for real?
