I've found wild passion fruit growing on my farm in East Texas. It had plenty of fruit growing on it.

I did some more research and I see that there is a Passiflora species (P. incarnata) that grows in Texas, but that isn't what is generally referred to as passion fruit. P. edulis would be what the above commenter is referring to.

Passion fruit isn't native to the US. Are you sure it was indeed passion fruit?
