One of the favourite stops on a garden tour is under the pergola covered by the exotic bananadella vine. Over the long  winter months we have been watching the beautiful pink flowers transform into long green fruits, which are now ripening at last.

On the outside the yellow fruits may look like a banana, but inside the pips are typical of a granadilla. It’s highly unusual in looks, and as for the taste? Gundula tells us it’s…exotic! Come and see for yourself one day.
