List of Fruit Vines

Grapes

• Grapes are one of the most versatile fruit vines. They can grow in a wide range of conditions and temperatures worldwide and are used in a variety of applications including wine, jelly, juice, table fruit and dried raisins. Several thousand blue, white, red and black varieties exist around the world.

Hardy Kiwi

• Hardy kiwis, native to North America, grow on vigorous vines and resemble the commercially available kiwi. They are however, smaller, have an edible skin and taste sweeter. They grow in cooler temperatures than the commercially available kiwi, thriving in zones 4 to 7. To successfully grow fruiting hardy kiwis, a male plant is needed to pollinate the fruit-bearing female plant.

Passion fruit

• Passion fruit is a tropical vine native to South America. It has been introduced all around the world in tropical and sub-tropical locations. It is consumed fresh and as juice, jelly or syrup. Yellow and purple fruiting varieties exist and are slightly larger than the size of a golf ball. Passion fruit vines have a showy yellow and purple flower that precedes the fruit.

Melons

• Rock melons, also known as cantaloupe and muskmelons, can be grown as annual vines. Their fleshy large fruit is commonly sold commercially and grown in the home garden for eating. For areas with little space, the melon vines can be trained on a trellis and fruits can be supported with fruit slings. Rock melons are grown primarily for the tasty fruit and have little aesthetic value in the landscape.
