They grow like weeds, You'll constantly be pruning to keep it in that small an area. I have a couple and the vines easily get 15 ft growth in a year.

Thanks for that - I don't mind pruning it - I have no other choice - I guess my question should really have been, will it still fruit with constant pruning?
There's a pre-pruning photo at the link below.

It won't be

Liam Coldwell (Zone 9a)

are you say passionfruit vine will not grow any fruit if it's pruned ? I ask because I started growing yellow passion fruit from seeds and it is about 2 inches tall, I intend to keep in container because I don't have space and I leave in a very cold place which means I have to overwinter my vine inside. I have to prune it and it will not produce? It means I have to abandon my passionfruit vine?

I believe the flowers form on new growth vines. Old segments of the vine will not flower so unless there are new growths, there will be no flowers.
