June. Because we often have killing freezes the second and third week of
May. Frost free season can be as short as 3rd week May to 3rd week Sept.
And as long as 3rd week April (very rare) to 1st week Nov. (also rare). As
I mentioned, our maypops, due to protected microclimate, routinely ripen
fruit through Oct, into Nov.
Flavor tastes like passion fruit juices we buy from the store. I've not
compared any P. incarnata selections side by side, am only growing this
local source.
