    Grapefruit grows bunched up, kinda but not really like grapes.

    Passionfruit is named for its flower, which has structures that correspond numerically to the stations of the cross and are thus a reference to the Passion of Christ. In this sense, “Passion” refers to suffering, not love or joy.

      So, your saying, for a passionfruit to live up to its name it would have to cause stigmata, right? That’s pretty hardcore.
