It grows as far south as northern [[Argentina]] and as far north as [[Mexico]]. Outside of its native range it grows in the tropical mountains of [[Africa]] and [[Australia]](where they are known as passionfruit). It likes climates ranging from 15° to 18° C and between 600 and 1000 mm of annual rain. It lives at altitudes ranging from 1700 to 2600 meters above sea level.
| + | The roundish [[fruit]] is orange/yellow colored with small light markings, growing to about 7cm. The outer shell is hard, with a soft padding on the interior.
