This was such a helpful video :D The house we just bought came with a variety of plants and none of them seemed super well taken care of (other than one). We had a plant I nicknamed "the beast" because it was HUGE and grew like crazy. None of us knew what it was and the "plant ID app" my in-laws had was clueless as well. Went out to prune back the beast before it complete overgrew the 8ft fence. Much to my surprise, I found two teeny tiny fuzzy kiwi! It's a kiwi plant...here in the middle part of England. I haven't found too many fruits, and I'm thinking (based on how the rest of the garden was) that there wasn't the attention to pruning & training that the plant probably needed to thrive. So now I'm doing my research to see what it would take to get the plant to prosper. But also, I'm thinking that it's in a prime location of the garden, and I'm not really sure that I like kiwi fruit that much lol.
Nice video. Cheerful and honest. I got some "Issai" kiwiberry plants, they've been productive since year 2, grown in pots.. The "fuzzy" kiwi's.. Grown 2 yellow ones from seed. Been frost resistant, and growing prolific.. One in the ground, one in pot, the one in the pot is 10 times less in size. Come spring, it will join the other one. The Kiwiberries will join them in the full ground too. Has been a great journey seeing them form from seed to sprout to vine. Not even fond of the taste ;)
Great video, packed with helpful information. So glad that you didn't show how to burry/plant the kiwi like all others do. You have a very attractive personality and fun energy. I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.
I have an 8ft x 8ft garden bed with 5 blueberry bushes in it. There is a timber canopy structure erected over it with shadecloth to keep harsh summer sun off them. Do you think growing a female kiwi fruit vine up that canopy so the vine can replace the shadecloth eventually (in providing summer shade) would be a good fit? My concern would be if an 8ft x 8ft canopy is big enough for the vine and also whether the vine might outcompete the blueberries to the point they suffer?
I k ow you posted long ago, but I thought I'd suggest growing the kiwi in a large container. I started a small one 2 years ago, and I got off the discount stand. It is in a 20-gallon pot with a wooden trellis built around it. It is already over 8 feet tall and actually broke the small wooden trellis. So I had to build a 1x4 trellis around it, and it's doing great
I need to figure out how to run the vines in the winter. In the back of my head I am thinking about the raspberry bush that got squished flat and froze to a rock under the snow. That one did better then all others so I thought. Does the green vines (new growth) want to he left flat on tbe ground to get buried in the snow? If I leave them strung up will the cold freeze off the green vines every year? I should just stick to raspberries lol.
Can I plant the vine against my wooden garden fence with plastic trellis to train it ? Oh does it produce alot of leaves as I would like to use it as a working privacy screen ?
Just wrote about the heady kiwi on chain link fencing…..next question. Could I plant Nero aronia in front of kiwi all along the entire 4 fence lines of my yard? Layered area & what about elderberry on back fence instead of kiwi? Would it be difficult to keep seperate or look okay to plant both kiwi & and elderberry together then Nero Arnoia in front? Needing help
You would need to mange the kiwi intensively to keep it from making your other plants part of it's trellis. It will reach for whatever it can to climb onto and into.
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ I only have one plant, I didn’t know you needed two. It’s never flowered so I don’t know whether it’s male or female. Can I eat the leaves please or dry them for tea. It’s the fuzzy one and do you know the leaves nutritional value. Thank you xx
I live in South Florida Zone 9b. I recently got my kiwi vine from fast growing trees. I feel as though when I first got it in the mail and put it in full sun it's leaves got super crispy and I was afraid it died. I don't know where to put it and I'm afraid the South Florida sun is too hot and burns them. Please help!
You may have sunburned the plant. If you put it directly in full sun after it being in complete darkness during the shipping process, the drastic change may have burned the plant. Keep it in a pot in the shade and gradually expose it to more sun over the next few weeks so it can adjust to being in full sun after being in the dark for multiple days. Hope that helps!
I was given a cold hardy kiwi and she was like JUST PLANT IT OK MINE IS DOING FINE. The issue is I am in growing zone 3 and the kiwi is zone 4. Some people are adamant that it's futile to grow anything zone 4 here. Others are reporting, some things are doing OK if you make sure the roots are buried deep and under mulch. And then bury it in the snow. Lol.
i have a couple kiwi vines in my garden but they have never flowered. Been here 6 yrs. They have decent sun exposure (northern california - marin county) but no flowers. They are planted in the ground and have a trellis supporting them. anyone have any suggestions? I’d greatly appreciate it, thank you!
We have two kiwi vines that started producing fruit about 4 years ago and last year had a harvest of over 100 kiwifruit. The problem is after we picked the fruit and let them ripen the cores remained hard. Any thoughts as to why that is?
I need help! I am in AK and have 2 Arctic Kiwi growing over an archway and they’re intertwined and are happy, but have never flowered so I cannot tell whether I have 2 males or 2 females.
Tikes! Without flowers it is impossible to know! Male kolomikta can take up to 7 years to flower however and the females can be slow to mature as well in some regions.
@@RaintreeNursery I would suggest you feed them with a bloom food, something like MorBloom, to see if you can coax some flowers out of them with extra nutrition specific to flower needs.
I hope you’ll respond since this is such an old video. I did subscribe. I want to put on m chain link fence it’s 6’ tall by 400’ long on each 4 sections. Can I grow on all the fencing? I want something edible & looks good on my fence. Evergreen perennial. But, you are the only person if several videos that said I could grow on a chain link fence. All others said they’d be too heavy & spread so need a trellis. Help ‘cause id love this but can do elderberry or something else like not edible maybe an ivy. I just really want edible. I already have a scuppernong arbor & grapes so don’t want them besides they look dead in winter. I’ve also already pulled up so many honeysuckle & morning glories as weeds do hate to do them. Thanks And, I live in Ms. Seldom gets below 30* but maybe few days in winter. Summer is hot & full sun on 3 fence lines. The back is part shade/sun
If you are looking for an evergreen plant then kiwi is not the one you want. All varieties will lose leaves each winter. As for support, chain link is very sturdy and would make an excellent support for a robust vine like kiwil.
That's the question nobody tells you. Unless you wait for the flowers, in that case it's easy to tell the male and female flowers apart. But then again, it is a little late, don't you think?
Yes. Contrary to the alarm about juglone (the chemical Black Walnuts are famous for), all that juglone really does is prevent seed germination and young root establishment. An already established kiwi vine will be unaffected.
You can grow all varieties of arguta (hardy/grape kiwi) and select varieties of deliciosa (fuzzy kiwi) in WA and we do at the nursery. Order online and we will ship them at an appropriate time for planting (usually spring or fall).
I've been growing fuzzy kiwis in pots indoors in easter wa for the past few years. From grocery store bought kiwis I plucked the seeds out of. Last summer i put them outside for two days in full sun and burnt them to a crisp. put them back inside and So far a few of them have come back and started to grow leaves again. Definitely won't tolerate the sub zero temps of the winter, so will need a greenhouse that stays relatively warm year round.

Pruning kiwi seems to be different than any other fruit. Have you considered doing a pruning video? Thanks!
Me encanta el sombrero! I’m all in on some kiwis! I will be placing an order for early spring planting! Keep your wonderful videos coming!
Love all your videos, so informative,to the point and you are always so cheerful. Thank you so much

This was very helpful! 😃🥝
Great informative video. Thanks!
Will these grow on other trees? And in the fall would you just cut it down and bring it in if it’s left in a pot?
Can I plant the vine against my wooden garden fence with plastic trellis to train it ? Oh does it produce alot of leaves as I would like to use it as a working privacy screen ?
Hi Thanks for this info I've got Kiwi but Iam waiiting for the rite time to transplant it to the port ❤️🙏🇿🇦
i never liked kiwis as a fruit but i like how fuzzy they are OwO
THANKS FOR THE INFO MANY MANY BLESSINGS ❤❤❤❤
thanks from a new kiwi grower🥝🥝🥝
You are an amazing woman, great at what you do.
Love your video! I have a 6ft tall fence about 8 yards long and double sided. is this enough room for a female plant to grow on?

great video, super informative
I'm gonna grow 🥝 from seed
love you granny 😘
Video was perfect except the volume on the music going up and down. Great info
Very informative. Thank you!
Is one of the kiwis you described the same as the Chinese Gooseberry Kiwi?
Clever lady :) Thank you very much!

I live in FL to. I'm thinking of getting a kiwi plant. But I don't know how it will do.
What type of soil do they like
I was given a cold hardy kiwi and she was like JUST PLANT IT OK MINE IS DOING FINE.
The issue is I am in growing zone 3 and the kiwi is zone 4. Some people are adamant that it's futile to grow anything zone 4 here.
Others are reporting, some things are doing OK if you make sure the roots are buried deep and under mulch. And then bury it in the snow.
Lol.
Mulch can help, but you may need to clear it during the wet seasons to prevent root rot. Good luck!
Do they take longer to come back after winter and why does the bark come off after winter on the male plant?

That's how they are in the store when you buy them in America. Give them 3-4 in the fridge and they'll soften up if you didn't pick to early
@jreagle58
I would go for smothie
hi how can you tell the differance between a female or male before they even flower plz

I love ❤ Golden kiwi 🥝 I can eat 4 packs of these kiwi so beautiful
I love love love this video. Where are ya located!?
Hi, just ordered kiwi anna and meader, now figure where to put them. Will a trellis on cattle or hog panels work 😳
Yes, they can work if they have sturdy support.
I have a male fuzzy kiwi but I don’t have a male kiwi berry. Will the fuzzy male kiwi pollinate the female kiwi berry? Thanks in advance.
Yes. Male plants pollinate female plants for both the standard and smaller kiwis.
I hope you’ll respond since this is such an old video. I did subscribe.

What type to grow in Hawaii?
Lovely.
how you can identify male or female kiwi?
The male has a wiwi
What a superb video! You are fantastic!
So how do you know which is a male vine, and a female vine...........
That's the question nobody tells you. Unless you wait for the flowers, in that case it's easy to tell the male and female flowers apart. But then again, it is a little late, don't you think?
Male flowers have sticks coming out females don’t
How do you reccomend growing these in a small space for the Issai, I have a really tall tree that they could run up and chain link fence.
A tall tree is not a great idea, but the chain link fence is very doable!
@@RaintreeNursery can you please export the seedlings both females n males Kenya.
I would like to visit your farm , where is the exact Location ! can i have Location please !
Do kiwis tolerate black walnut trees if root zones overlap?
Yes. Contrary to the alarm about juglone (the chemical Black Walnuts are famous for), all that juglone really does is prevent seed germination and young root establishment. An already established kiwi vine will be unaffected.
How's the propergation done.
How about the Jenny ?
Very thorough ! Thank you!
How can you tell a male from female plants?
Male plants are typically smaller and grow les quickly, but the only real way to tell is inspecting the flowers for male and female flower parts.
Thank you i thought my female was slow to flowering
There aren't any videos on how to properly remove them from a tree

Why isn't there a link to your website? Have you stopped selling your fruit trees??
Pre-order season is already going on! www.raintreenursery.com
@@RaintreeNursery I seen that many varieties are currently sold out. When do they come back in stock so they can be ordered?
@@rbrought - Towards the end on January. There is a notify me button for any stock you want to keep informed on.
thank you so much , now this was a good and informative , GOD BLESS YOU.
Nice
Wow
Your kiwis look a lot like pears
Ya know..ya don't have to peel the "fuzzy" kiwi's either
I love your lips!
