Why is it that the humble Passionfruit vine seems to bring out the worst in people.
I planted a passionfruit next to my back fence and everytime a small piece of vine entered my neighbour's side of the fence, it was immediately snipped off.
My daughter had an ugly garden patch which was full of ferns and a wild growing vine that was very hard to get rid of. Being a lover of freshly grown passionfruit she planted a vine and it flourished and bore many fruit. That is until her 'lovely', elderly neighbour decided she didn't like it entering her side of the fence and banished the vine, leaving half of it dead and wasting many passionfruit.
My daughter trimmed all the vine to keep her happy, until this week, when she came home and found her garbage bin lid open and the passionfruit she was nurturing for our Christmas fruit salad all in the bin.
Unfortunately my daughter is not the type of person who would confront this person as she is too kind and gentle and didn't deserve this. She has now pulled the vine out and is leaving the garden to go back to it's original eyesore. She enjoyed looking at the lovely green foliage from her kitchen window and looked forward to sharing the fruit.
