I am giving my vegie garden a makeover at the moment and I have an old farm fence along it and have been wanting to plant something on it as in summer I really need some shade in my vegie garden as it is hot and dry where we live.
However I really don't want a passionfruit there, I have one down the chook pen and hate it (it never fruits, and I am constantly battling suckers and having to trim it from taking over) and I hate it, it is so thick and drives me nuts). The only other thing I can think of is grapes which won't really be all that suitable I think. Anyone have some alternatives on a vine I can plant that will also produce food? |

I came to say choko too - mainly because they grow easily. Maybe kiwi fruit?

Thanks will google kiwi fruit and choko to see if they can be grown here.
I wish we could grow berries, but it is far too hot here, we have a more mediterrainean climate, that can be a bit tropical as well. Over summer it is hot, dry, windy and dusty, winter can be a bit dry as well, not really cold and certainly no frost

Maybe dragonfruit - apparently it's a climbing cactus.

Dragonfruit is really tough and hard to kill.
Kiwifruit can be very invasive so check the rootstock info. |

I was going to say Kiwi fruit, but we are in a cold climate - not sure if they will go well and sweeten up with no frost. They can get big though too - but will fruit a lot.
I'd try a different passionfruit - it sounds like yours has reverted to the rootstock, which grows like crazy and barely fruits. get a new one - 'ungrafted' if you can, so it can't go feral. Would grapes not work? |
