What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional quality and health of the starter plants received from Logee's. The core excitement centers on the exotic appeal of the Giant Granadilla vine, anticipating its massive, fragrant flowers and unique edible fruit. However, a consistent theme emerges regarding its demanding nature. This vigorous plant requires significant structural support and frequent pruning, often surprising growers with its rapid, aggressive growth, especially in confined spaces. While dedicated tropical growers in warmer zones report impressive success, the high spatial needs temper the enthusiasm for less experienced buyers. The value remains high for those prepared to accommodate its substantial environmental requirements.
