Passiflora Silvestris
Passiflora silvestris is a wild passionfruit species native to Brazil’s caatinga biome, one of the harshest and driest environments in South America. It is also found growing at higher elevations in the Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia, which suggests some degree of cold tolerance—a rare and valuable trait for passionfruits.
This species has adapted to extreme drought conditions, making it an excellent candidate for cultivation in arid or challenging climates. Despite its rugged origins, Passiflora silvestris produces fruits with a flavor that’s unexpectedly rich and refined.
The fruit is described as super tasty, with a remarkable melon-like flavor that stands out even among cultivated passionfruits. It offers a perfectly balanced mix of sweetness and acidity, making it highly enjoyable to eat fresh.
Regarding the watermark – The Seeds District is a passion project created in collaboration with Bellamy Trees and The Seeds Hunter. Our mission is to preserve rare fruit species and share them with passionate growers around the world. By getting these unique plants into the hands—and yards—of dedicated enthusiasts, we’re helping ensure their survival for generations to come.
