Today I planted a lilikoi (passion fruit) vine at the base of a neneleau tree. I buried a bunch of Kona Kampachi parts that I got from Olelopa’a in the planting hole. Fish is a great organic fertilizer providing plants with everything they crave: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and calcium. I am pretty confident that this lilikoi will explode with growth and that we will have lilikoi fruits raining down us in no time.
