Grow Guide

PLANT USES: The fruits are prized for their delicious flavor. The fruits have a similar flavor to the fuzzy kiwis but there is nothing that tastes better than a vine ripe kiwi. The fruits have tiny seeds that are palatable but there is no fuzz on the fruit so no peeling is necessary. The edible ornamental value of the vine is good to be used to make a trellised fence to separate areas or make a kiwi arbor rather than a grape arbor. The plant needs to be pruned in the fall. The prunings can be used to make Christmas wreaths.
WATER REQUIREMENTS: The first 2 years it is Important to keep the plants moist. The first two top inches of the soil should remain moist to the touch.
FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS: High rate non acid type. These plants love to eat!! No fertilizer should be applied 3 months prior to a normal spring frost. (Example: Expected frost date September 15 so no fertilizer after June 15). The 19 reason late fertilizer applications are not recommended is because the plants will grow too late in the summer and the tender growth will be subject to damaging autumn and winter freezes.
