According to some of the research I've done it might take up to two years to see a harvest.

So I went ahead and did some transplanting of the passion fruit seedlings. I put three of them into a 20 gallon pot with a homemade trellis. The last four are each in a 5 gallon pot for now two outside with the other 3 and two in my flower room just in case we have a frost and I forget to cover everything I havnt lost everything. They have really grown the last couple days since these pics were taken.

I wouldn't mind growing a mango tree but I keep on buying stuff that needs dragged inside every winter and my garage already looks like an indoor forest over winter lol.

Not well. They freeze very easily. Only the most mature and established trees can make it through a hard freeze and still, all the new growth will get burnt.
