(a) "It is native to subtropical regions of South America from southern Brazil through Paraguay to northern Argentina.[1]"  en.wikipedia.org for "Passion fruit (fruit)."
(b) "Nick Brown, a slight, bearded thirty-two-year-old who wore a wide-brimmed hat atop a tuft of dark hair, met me at the bottom of a dusty road that led up to his family's ranch in Carpinteria, some seventy miles north ]probably should be 'northwest'] of LA, on a hillside with a glorious ocean view. As we bumped around the six-hundred-acre property in his Subaru, Brown, a sixth-generation farmer, pointed out groves of trees drooping with the weight of unripe avocados and scaly green cherimoya ('like a mango, a pineapple, and a banana all put together,' he said)"
