How to Grow Kiwi

Tips, Tricks

1. Good video, but some more info from a KIWI (New Zealander)
   
   the Kiwi fruit was named kiwi fruit for its marketing value, its nick name
   before that was Chinese gooseberry, it didn't sell well under that name.
   
   When I was a kid and bought up in the central South Island of New Zealand,
   Danseys pass 50 years plus ago.
   
   yeah I am old but the Chinese Gooseberry was bought to NZ by Chinese gold
   mining immigrants in the 18th century, a piece of home for them,
   
   when growing the Kiwi Fruit there is a male and female in some cases, I see the
   video failed to tell you that,
   
   a male will look after around 9 to 12 female plants, without the male there
   will be no fruit.
   
   This does not mean that the male must be on the same vine as the female, in
   fact the male will seed the female from metres away.
   
   The Kiwi Fruit loves the sun and some vines can grow 100's of fruit, when
   planted you must water well for the first three years, you can train the vine
   to grow along a fence or up a tree noting that some vines with a lot of fruit
   can also collapse a fence due to its weight.
   
   but it must also have around 700 hours of cold temperatures (7 deg Cel) or
   below in a year
   
   if you Google search the New Zealand conditions you will learn a lot more.
   
   There are many types of Kiwi Fruit.
   
   Good luck with your growing
2. thank you
3. still not enough info on growing.
4. yay! great video I had no idea how kiwis grew! Where did you find the vine?
5. is Kiwi growable in Texas??
   and how many kiwi will grown on one female?
6. Two months ago I purchased a hardy kiwi plant that came with a male and a female for pollination. I put the both in a single pot, taking out side on sunny days. One night I was late bringing it in and I guess it was too cold for my vines. The next couple of weeks my leaves were turning brown around the edges and falling off. I thought planting outdoors in the acidic soil would help, but the week after we got rain and more rain, in fact it's still raining. All my leaves are gone now. Is there anything I can do to bring it back from the dead or is it a goner? This was my first kiwi plant and I didn't buy it from a nursery (ams club). The stems look okay, should I wait to see if there will be new stems popping up after all this rain ends. Also what should the ph level be for these hardy vines. I live in NEPA. Thank you...
7. Hi...I don't usually look at gardening channels but I subscribed to this one. In addition I just planted tomatoes & I'm sure they would do fine, since i live in an apartment. I don't know what self pollinating is, nor dormant, & how long will it take for the trees to produce fruit? Thanks I hope you answer all 3 questions.
8. I am growing kiwi from seeds. it's purple hybrid kiwi. my seedlings now are like 6 inches. I want only one plant. so I want to know if this purple variety is self pollinating?
9. is kiwi self pollinating?
10. great we have so much sunshine an I gobba trt it to growberw in Trinidad
11. We have 2 kiwi vines, 1 male and 1 female (or at least that's what the tags stated).  We've had them for a couple of years and have never produced any fruit.  We don't think they have even bloomed.  Any suggestions?  Are we doing something wrong?
12. Can I have ur contact number or email. Email me pls dhanjal86@gmail.com. Thnx
13. dude i did not know i could grow a kiwi in the midwest
14. Kiwi fruits are vigorous plants that need plenty of space. They should be planted 3-4.5m (10-15ft) apart. Plants start to produce fruit three to four years after planting.
    
    Self-fertile cultivars are ideal where there is space for only one plant. Otherwise for successful pollination both female and male (non-fruiting) plants should be planted. One male plant can pollinate up to eight females and should be sited 60cm (2ft) away from one of the females.
    
    Kiwi fruits require a sheltered sunny position, preferably a south- or west-facing wall, although they can be grown in the open in milder areas. Young shoots are extremely vulnerable to frost damage in the spring and may require protection.
    
    They grow best in a fertile, well-drained slightly acid soil which is rich in organic matter.
15. Hi! I would like to have a kiwi vine in my glassed-in balcony, what do you think about that? I suppose then I don't want that single trunk, since I would want it facing the window rather than the roof if you know what I mean.
16. Nice video... as far as a kiwi tree that is not self pollinating, can one plant in a pot next to the opposite gender in a seperate pot and still get fruit or would they need to be planted in the ground?
17. I have collected Kiwi seeds and hoping to have a micro plant in pot if they germinate.
18. I have two kiwi plants inside (I live in a temperate climate, in Romania, Europe) and last autumn the tips of the plants dried. The female vine kept three leaves (the vine is3 feet long) but it is not growing at all. The main stem seems still alive, but there are no signs of restarting growth. The male plant lost all its leaves, but the the main stem did not dried out and doesn't seem to be dead. Is there any chance at all that these two plants will restart growing this spring?
19. Would you grow a kiwi from seed or do you think its better to grow from cuttings?
20. hi,i would like to know if i can grow kiwi in Puerto Rico? i have 5 small plants from seeds! do you know if it will  produce fruit?
