this is our first year in our new house, it has two great passionfruit vines but the fruit is crinkling while still green and falling off the vine dry inside and no colou, any ideas why please.

Is it getting enough water and regular feeding? If not. Could be your answer.

Sounds dry, I'm betting you haven't been watering it?

And when we say water it we mean (or I mean) a big whole bucket of water every single day in this dry weather. I have also given ,mine a good handful of fertiliser every couple of weeks . It has thanked me for it.

Are you sure it is not one of the green variety? Friends have that and I was busy saying that their passionfruit had not ripened, only to be corrected.

A bucket? Better to give the vine a long long soak once a week.

Get a 2 or 3 litre milk bottle or similar, cut the bottom off then push the top into the ground. Fill the bottle with water regularly and it will drain into the soil around the plant without running everywhere else. I have 2 around most of my special trees and plants and have never had any problems.

Same thing has happened to my passionfruit OP & I know it was lack of water during those 3 weeks with no rain.

Yip. Same here. Since KCDC - bless them - installed water meters I'm not watering like previous years, the passionfruit vines have been badly neglected, and have the same issue as OP.
