Growing and care guide
Growing Instructions
- 1
Plant in fertile, well-draining, slightly acidic soil near a strong trellis or pergola in March or April.
- 2
Provide full sun and shelter from harsh, drying winds to protect tender spring vines.
- 3
Creamy white flowers bloom in late spring, followed by fruit expansion through summer.
- 4
Harvest firm mature kiwis in late autumn before hard winter freezes, allowing them to soften at room temperature.
Care Instructions
Water consistently during active growth; vines are sensitive to drought stress during flowering and fruit development.
Apply balanced compost and organic fertilizer in early spring as new shoots begin to emerge.
Prune dormant vines in winter to maintain a strong framework and encourage fruiting spurs.
Mulch heavily around the root zone to insulate root systems and retain moisture.
