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

It has more to do with invasive species than anything. Xyella fastidiosa is native to the gulf coast states in the US. Olives and other species from the old world lack any resistance to the bacteria.
This same bacteria causes Pierce's disease in Vitis vinifera, the common grape (from Eurasia). Whereas North American Vitis species are resistant to Xf.
There's a lot of research going into solving Pierce's disease here in the US from breading programs to bacteriophages. The later may end up helping solve the same problem in Olives.

Agriculture in the US has started embracing phage therapy for some diseases. Both the EPA and California's EPA has recently approved a phage that attacks Xylella fastidiosa, Pierce's disease, in grapevines. This disease kills a vine within a few years. I'm hoping to get to try this in Texas in 2020 but it may be another year before everything is approved here.

If you're looking at dotnet core just keep in mind that its been evolving quite a bit and can be a little frustrating when major changes happen. Though I think its starting to settle down a little. There's a lot of good documentation for it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/index
Hanselman always has good posts on his blog: http://www.hanselman.com/
Outside of that, we'll need to know a bit more about what you're looking at to give you better advice.
