Wild passion fruit cultivar obtained by mass selection process of a population of wild accessions from the Passiflora cincinnata Mast. species from different origins, especially aiming at increasing yield and fruit size. It produces light-green colored fruits when ripe, their weight varies from 109 to 212g, it has an acid pulp that is suitable for juice manufacturing, it shows a light-yellow to whitish coloring, and its brix range from 8 to 13 ºBrix. The pulp yield is around 35% when manually extracted with sieve and 50% when extracted with a fruit pulp extraction machine. In the conditions of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco and the Cerrado regions of Planalto Central, it has produced from 18 to 29 tons per hectare per year in open pollination and, depending on crop management conditions, it can reach a yield of over 30 ton per hectare in the first production year. Its feature characteristic is a higher tolerance to water stress and the long production cycle when compared to Passiflora edulis Sims passion fruit cultivars available in the market. It has agroindustrial and ornamental potential because it is an important commercial alternative for family farmers from the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes, both for the market of fruit aimed at industrial processing, and for value aggregation to processed pulp products in the form of juices, jellies, sweets, and ice creams.
