Passion Fruit ‘Bounty’ (Passiflora edulis ‘Bounty’) — Locally Grown in Pierson, Florida at Flowing Well Tree Farm Fast-Growing Tropical Vine • Large Sweet Fruit • Ornamental Blooms • Florida-Adapted from Day One When you buy Passion Fruit ‘Bounty’ here, you’re not getting a delicate, long-distance shipped vine—you’re getting plants grown directly in Pierson, raised under real Florida sun, humidity, rainfall, and storm-season conditions from the start. That matters. Locally grown vines are already conditioned to the environment they’re being planted into, which means faster establishment, stronger early growth, and more reliable flowering and fruiting once in the landscape. This is direct-from-grower material. You can visit the farm, see how tropical fruit vines are produced and trained, and get real guidance from the people who grow them every day—not generic instructions pulled from a label. ‘Bounty’ is a high-performance passion fruit variety chosen for its combination of vigorous growth, large fruit size, and dependable productivity in warm climates. Why Locally Grown Makes the Difference Because these vines are grown outdoors in Florida conditions, they are already adapted to: Heat, humidity, and heavy rainfall cycles Rapid summer growth and flowering patterns High disease and pest pressure environments Strong seasonal fruiting response That translates into: Faster establishment in the home landscape Reduced transplant shock Stronger vine structure early on More consistent flowering and fruit production It’s a better starting point for long-term success. Large, Sweet-Tart Tropical Fruit ‘Bounty’ produces big, aromatic passion fruit with a rich sweet-tart tropical flavor. Perfect for: Fresh eating Juices and smoothies Desserts and sorbets Syrups and sauces Culinary use and cocktails It’s a productive edible vine designed for both flavor and yield. Exotic Flowers with Real Ornamental Value Before fruiting, this vine produces intricate, tropical flowers that: Attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds Add bold ornamental appeal to structures Bloom throughout warm growing seasons Elevate edible landscapes into visual focal points It’s as much a landscape feature as it is a fruit crop. USDA Growing Zones Best suited for Zones 9–11. In cooler regions, it can be grown in containers and protected from frost. Growth Habit & Landscape Use A vigorous climbing vine that rapidly covers structures when supported: Trellises Fences Pergolas Arbors Edible privacy screens and green walls With proper training, it becomes a dense, productive canopy. Sun Requirements Full sun is essential for best flowering and maximum fruit production (6–8+ hours daily). Soil & Site Adaptability Performs best in: Well-drained sandy or loamy soils Fertile, organic-rich garden beds Slightly acidic to neutral conditions Avoid waterlogged or poorly drained sites, which reduce plant vigor. Planting Guidance (Grower Recommended) We focus on setting vines up for long-term productivity: Choose a warm, sunny site with strong structural support Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball Plant at original container depth Water deeply after planting Apply mulch while keeping it off the stem Install trellis or arbor immediately for training If you visit the farm, we can help plan spacing and structure based on your property conditions. Watering & Establishment Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once rooted in, vines benefit from deep watering during dry periods and fruiting cycles to support yield and fruit quality. Fertilizer Feed in early spring and mid-summer using a balanced or fruiting fertilizer. Avoid excess nitrogen, which promotes vine growth at the expense of flowers and fruit. Support & Pruning (Key to Productivity) This is a vigorous vine that requires structure and management: Provide a strong trellis, fence, or arbor Prune lightly to maintain airflow and control growth Remove tangled or weak growth to encourage fruiting wood Maintain open structure for sunlight penetration Proper training directly improves harvest quality and consistency. Why This Is a Smarter Long-Term Investment ✔ Grown locally in Florida tropical conditions from the start✔ Faster establishment with stronger root development✔ Direct grower expertise for planting and training success✔ Proven performance in heat, humidity, and rainfall cycles✔ High ornamental + edible value in one plant✔ Reliable production in home orchard systems✔ Opportunity to visit, learn, and select in person The Real Advantage This isn’t just a passion fruit vine—it’s a high-performance edible landscape system built from locally grown, climate-adapted stock.

Locally Grown in Pierson, Florida — Direct from the Grower at Flowing Well Tree Farm Heavy Producer • Florida-Adapted • Landscape-Ready Edible Vine • Built for Long-Term Harvest Success When you purchase Muscadine Grape ‘Carlos’ (Vitis ‘Carlos’) here, you’re not buying a generic mail-order vine—you’re getting fruiting stock grown directly in Pierson, hardened in real Florida heat, humidity, and soil conditions from the start. That difference shows up later in your landscape: stronger establishment, fewer losses, and far more reliable production. This is direct-from-grower material. You can visit the farm, walk the trellis areas, and see how these vines are trained, managed, and selected for performance. When you ask questions, you’re talking to the people who actually grow them—not a call center or reseller. That means better guidance, more accurate planting advice, and a vine set up for long-term success instead of short-term sale. ‘Carlos’ is one of the most dependable muscadine varieties for Southern growers because it was chosen for exactly what matters in Florida landscapes: productivity, disease resistance, and climate adaptability. Why Buying Locally Grown Matters Muscadines are tough, but they perform best when they’re raised in the same kind of environment where they’ll be planted. These vines are grown outdoors in Florida conditions, meaning they are already adapted to heat, humidity, rainfall swings, and native soils. That translates into: Faster establishment Less transplant shock More consistent fruit production Stronger long-term vine structure It’s not just a vine—it’s a regionally conditioned planting investment. Heavy Producer with Real Edible Value ‘Carlos’ is known for one thing above all: yield. It produces abundant clusters of bronze muscadine grapes with a sweet-tart flavor that works extremely well for: Fresh eating Juices and ciders Jams and jellies Desserts Homemade wine This is a true Southern production grape—reliable, productive, and built for repeat harvests year after year. USDA Growing Zones Best suited for Zones 7–10, with excellent performance throughout Florida and the Southeast. Growth Habit & Landscape Use A vigorous deciduous climbing vine that can easily reach 15–25+ feet when supported properly. Ideal for: Trellises Fences Arbors Pergolas Edible landscape designs When trained correctly, it becomes both a food source and a functional shade/structure vine. Sun Requirements Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) is essential for strong fruiting, sugar development, and overall vine health. Planting Guidance (Grower Recommended) We don’t just sell vines—we help set them up for production: Choose a sunny site with strong support structure Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball Plant at original container depth Water deeply after planting Mulch lightly, keeping mulch away from the stem Install trellis or arbor immediately for proper training If you visit the farm, we can help you plan spacing and structure based on your specific property and goals. Soil & Adaptability Performs extremely well in Florida soils and prefers: Well-drained sandy or loamy soils Slightly acidic pH Moderate organic matter Once established, it handles heat and drought well, making it a strong low-maintenance edible landscape choice. Watering & Establishment Regular watering is important during the first establishment period. After rooting in, muscadines become highly drought tolerant but still benefit from deep watering during flowering and fruit development for maximum yield. Fertilizer Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, with a light midsummer application if needed. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can reduce fruiting and increase excessive leafy growth. Pruning & Structure (Key to Productivity) Proper pruning is what turns a vine into a high producer: Prune in late winter while dormant Remove excess growth to encourage fruiting wood Maintain open airflow and structure Focus energy on productive vines, not excess foliage We provide real-world pruning guidance based on how these vines actually perform in Florida landscapes—not textbook theory. Why This Is a Smarter Long-Term Investment ✔ Grown locally in Florida climate from day one✔ Proven adaptation to heat, humidity, and soil conditions✔ Direct grower support for planting and training✔ Higher survival and stronger establishment rates✔ Reliable, repeatable fruit production✔ Better disease resilience from regionally grown stock✔ Opportunity to visit, learn, and select in person The Real Difference This isn’t just a grape vine purchase—it’s a long-term edible landscape decision backed by local production, hands-on expertise, and real Florida field conditions.

Soil & Site Adaptability Performs best in: Well-drained sandy or loamy soils Slightly acidic pH Moderate organic content Once established, it handles Florida heat, humidity, and summer rainfall patterns with ease. Watering & Establishment Regular watering is important during the first growing season. After establishment, muscadines become drought tolerant but produce best with deep watering during flowering and fruit development. Fertilizer Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again midseason if needed. Avoid excess nitrogen, which encourages leafy growth at the expense of fruit production. Pruning & Productivity (Critical Step) Good pruning is what separates average vines from heavy producers: Prune in late winter while dormant Remove excess growth to focus energy on fruiting wood Maintain open airflow and structure Encourage strong, productive vine framework We guide pruning based on real field performance so your vine stays productive, not overgrown. Why This Is a Smarter Long-Term Investment ✔ Grown locally in Florida conditions from day one✔ Faster establishment and reduced transplant shock✔ Direct access to experienced growers✔ Proven performance in heat and humidity✔ Reliable, repeatable fruit production✔ Better adaptation than out-of-region nursery stock✔ Opportunity to visit, learn, and select in person The Bottom Line This isn’t just a grape vine purchase—it’s an edible landscape investment built on local experience, regional adaptation, and long-term performance.
