Hmm... What a coincidence! Same date as the tornado but a year later. I am having to start over with our trees and iris garden. We went thru the 3/21/22 F3 tornado here in Jacksboro, TX. We had to leave when they bulldozed our home of 7 yrs. We ARE truly blessed though because we qualified for a new home that was built by the Amish. Anyways, the purpose for me finding this video is because I am doing research on this Kiwi vine. I want to put it at the base of our new covered porch up lattice that will soon go up. Thank you for this video.
I'm sorry that you lost your home. Being able to move forward with a new home and plan a new garden will hopefully be a healing experience for you and your family. ❤️ I just filmed how our kiwi vines looked today in a garden tour video. The variety we have is a very aggressive grower and I had to prune it back a bit today to prevent it from overtaking one part of our garden. Just be aware of how much they can grow, and that they do require pruning.
It's nice to see another Hardy Kiwi grower in CT. I am in SE CT, (now USDA zone 7A) and I have quite a few Hardy Kiwi, dozens of Pawpaws and some Asian Persimmon growing on about 3 acres .
For sure Issai which is a variety of actinides arguta. This is a self fertile variety of hardy and they do not have any red growth just green. Many people confuse the arctic with the hardy but they flower and fruit on growth stemming from 1 year old shoots on the vine.
I really, really, really, really hope you get kiwis this year, they are looking really healthy with all of the blooms.. I have my fingers crossed for you...🤞🤞🤞🐮🐮🐮
'Issai' is an Arguta x Polygama hybrid hence why it looks different from typical Argutas and is less vigorous. 'Prolific' is another self fertile Arguta cultivar but not a hybrid far as i'm aware. Formerly known as the 119-40B kiwi. The common name arctic kiwi usually refers to A. Kolomikta which is hardy down to -40F, has variegated foliage and very shade tolerant but is extremely susceptible to late frosts in the US due to leafing out extremely early before last frost dates. This species is more of an ornamental vine but the small berries are quite sweet.
Mid-Missoutri zone 6A. I have 3 Issai kiwi vines that have been planted 3 years. One bloomed this summer; only blooms at night and they are small, very bright blue blooms.
I’ve got four or five varieties. I’ve had them for five years and only two vines are blooming. Never got one berry I’ve been told there is an epidemic of males not blooming. Not sure if that’s true, but my male has never bloomed..Meater. Most likely I’m going to order some male pollen next season and self fertilize.
I have it here. But I got cuttings to root this year again without it. I'm just trying to get them to grow in the soil once transplanted. So far so good! 🤞🏻

This is very helpful. I planted an issai kiwi vine this year. Already seeing flowers 👍

I planted September Sun + a male this spring. Hope it goes well.

Most of that sounds the same, mine does flower on new growth though. 😊
Looking forward to an update this year. Thanks.

We will see!! We put a net on them and will do our best. I wish I could send you cuttings. Thanks so much Manda!!! 🤗

Hey there! 🤗 Happy Gardening!! 🌻
I’ve got four or five varieties. I’ve had them for five years and only two vines are blooming. Never got one berry I’ve been told there is an epidemic of males not blooming.

I hope that works out for you! 😊
Ive had mine 8 years. This is the first year berries have formed.
That’s exciting!! 🎉
Binge watching! New subscriber here! Love your vids!
Thank you Carol! ❤️
This is my second year and I STILL don't have blooms or fruit????
It looks so fantastic! We didn't manage to keep ours alive :S
Thanks so much Nyssa!! Hopefully you will be able to try again. 🤗
@@TheBourneHomestead definitely!
Are you using any rooting hormone? It might help.
I have it here. But I got cuttings to root this year again without it. I'm just trying to get them to grow in the soil once transplanted. So far so good! 🤞🏻
What is your trellis called. Cattle arch?
16ft Cattle Panel
It can take up to 3-5 years for berries to grow most places say
Unless you buy them at fruiting age.
You should skip the fertilizer - It just makes them more vigorous.
Maybe! I haven't noticed any difference in vine growth compared to previous years though. 😊
The arctic = hardy. There's no definitive set rules on most plants, especially these rarer ones. Lots of contradictory information too
I agree, lots of contradictory information! That's why we share only our experience. 👍🏻
