my university thesis was on kiwi. one of the things i had to do is seed count. 1 piece of advice i can give to get the seeds easily is to use a mesh strainer, put the seeds with the pulp in (of course the less pulp the better) and start working the seeds and pulp in the strainer with your thumb probably under slow water flow. the mesh should be dense enough to not let the seeds through but thin enough to let the pulp squeez through. i did a few hundreds of kiwis that way so i guess it will be very fast for a few kiwis. nice video. keep up the good job.
While it only takes a few weeks for kiwi seeds to germinate, it can take as long as 6-7 years for the plants to reach the stage where they produce fruit.
My kiwi sprouted after 5 days :) I used a strainer and took most of the green slime off. I m also trying to sprout orange seeds, they're going well also
@@dojoparsnip9905 It didn't work, but sprouted. I took the seeds out of a kiwi I bought from the store, rinsed most of the slime out and put them in a wet towel paper (in a bag), and inside a closed warm place (one of my drawers 🤔 ) Their sprouts are barely seen, very little. and I checked each one other day if I see moist. I guess it didn't work out because of the weather here. But these days, it would probably work. (From Israel)
@@dojoparsnip9905 The seeds of the orange, You need to help. Dry the outer white seed without taking the peel off. The second day, peel only the pointed part (lightly), not to touch the inner seed ( first). Make a little cut on the other side of the outer seed, the rounder part, but be careful not to touch the inner. Both sides should be able to grow. Keep in a slightly wet and warm (not hot) temperature, and without light for the first week. Check that air and light do go in evenly after sprouts. You can even use a wooden straw with tiny holes on its sides to allow light in.
I manually rubbed the seeds onto a paper towel to wipe the pulp off. Then transferred them to a fresh paper towel. ❤ it worked pretty good. Didn't know about the dark space bit! And planting them with the paper towel is so smart! Thank you for the video! 🙌🏻🙏🏻💝🤩
Thank you I just started gardening and it is a really good hobby at least I think so and this video helped me out a lot I am only a kid and it was really easy the only hard part is waiting for the seeds to spout thank you for making this video
Rob, you can put the seeds on a dry paper towel and take enough dry paper towel and rub the gel right off and it comes right off. I did that about a month ago and I now have over 20 kiwi seedlings growing.
Yeah, I have already done the molding way and failed miserably lol. I never thought of just putting the paper towel into dirt. I started some corn, sunflower, and mullet seeds from squirrel food...so far I just have sprouts, but it's only been about a week. Lol My blackberry bush also decided to regrow itself in the ground right next to the pot it was in. I was cutting off limbs to regrow when I noticed it was already doing it for me. I love growing things, I thinks that's why I love spring so much. 🌱🌿🌻🌾🌳
I also put my zip-lock baggy in a seed flat and the seed flat was put on top of a seedling heat mat which provides bottom warmth and they are doing quite well so far. They don't have to be put in the dark and most all of my seeds germinated. :-)
I have two plants that were bought from a nursery about 15 years ago. You need a male and a female plant to get fruit. Also plant them somewhere were they can climb and have a lot of room. They grow so fast I have to prune them weekly or they well take over my deck in the summer.
Toad 1973 They certainly grow fast. I won’t know if I have at least on male or several until they flower... unfortunately a few more years (or more) away.
I left it in a tin baking pan in the sun and it actually worked, cause I have no warm but dark areas in my house, but outside it like 80 degrees Fahrenheit, great video and tips
Nice job Rob. As a tip cleaning of the seeds can be made easier by letting them first soak for an hour or two in diluted muratic acid. Thereafter rinse the seeds with water and then rub the seeds with your fingers over a fine meshed sieve under some running water to get rid of the fruit flesh / gel that the acid has now broken down a bit ( just like gastric acid does in the stomach ). Happy growing!
I just took the kiwi into a blender with enough water to submerge 1 fruit and the seeds sink to the bottom with no gel. You can then decant the matter and pulp (that means just pour out the water without the seeds) and then rinse them with some water and pour the water out again and they’re clean. Works for kiwis, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries. Just about every fruit with small seeds can have their seeds extracted using the blender and water method.
Cheers bro thanks to you I've gifted over a dozen kiwi fruit plants in 5 litre pots and now I have lost count on 30 _40 give or take how many Kiwi fruit plants I got my biggest plants is 1.5 metre with 14 branches all have 2 to 3 branches cheers mate. G'day from Mackay Queensland Australia 🇦🇺.
I’m doing this now and after washing them a little I soaked them in cola hoping the acid would get the rest of the pulp off...I’ll c. I noticed your pretty wedding band, very nice., the older I get the harder it is to c these tiny seeds let alone the roots. Well good luck and thank u for posting this!
Nice starter episode Rob, I actually was trying this a month or two ago, I would put the seeds between paper towels and rub to get rid of the fruit flesh, but I think I had them incubating at too hot of a temperature and they never sprouted. Luckily my navel orange seeds and avocado worked out. Good luck with your kiwi vines!
Thanks Melvin! Hopefully it goes well, but "they" say only 25% of the seedlings that sprout actually survive - I hope I get 25% to make it since I do plan on trying to grow 12 plants!
I use a seedling heat mat and that is plugged via a power strip into a thermostat with a probe placed into a pot of seed-starting mix and the thermostat regulates the temperate that you set it for. Had ALL of my kiwi seeds sprout as well as some pomegranate seeds! ;-)
I did this myself and did not get past the seeds shooting in paper. but after having seen your video I'm encouraged to try again and use your method of transferring the paper into a tray. Thank you!!
Hi Rob, thank you for sharing! Came to your channel because I LOVE kiwi fruit and am finally ready to try growing my own kiwi and also, try my hand at lemons, strawberries, oranges, avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers and an herb garden.❤️🤗🙏🏼
A very important thing to note with kiwifruit from seed is you'll end up with more male than female vines; on a small scale you really want mostly females that produce the fruit; so those finding they aren't getting fruit, this is why (the whole vine will either be male or female, they aren't self fertile)
Actinidia chinensis is dioecious means male and female reproductive organs in separate individual plants. Most of the plants germinated by seeds would become male. Hence vegetative propagation is advisable for fruit production. No wrong in trying, may get one female plant out of hundred.
@@Laurel-Crowned When they start flowering, the male and female flowers look different. Male flowers are chock full of pollen while female flowers aren't. Look for the powdery flowers, take the powder, put it in the non-powdery flowers. Even works indoors.
I sprouted purple hull cow peas in a wash cloth in a baggy as no paper towels and left to long I planted all 5 with wash cloth and had 5 vines planted in my baby fig t. They did great. I mak sure I use paper towels and dont leave them so long. Lol thanks I have a kiwi that my graddaughter was tossing. I saved it and came to you video. Thanks so much. Hope I can figure out growing it in Phoenix Az zone 9B
I got a small mini strainer from the dollar tree, like a powdered sugar applier?.. anywho, I usually like to put the seeds in there to wash away the flesh from seeds. I use this method every time, & love it!😊😊 then I will place the wet seeds on a plate to dry out, it's easier to scrape off to collect the seeds. I used to place them on paper towel as you showed in the video, but the seeds always sticks to the paper, so allowing them to dry on the plate does the job better, it only takes the day to pretty much dry... thought this may help ya out, just try it, & you'll NEVER go back to using paper towel again😊😊 I am going to share a video on how to grow dragon fruit from seed soon, & dragon fruit seeds are very similar to kiwifruit seeds, which I've tried this with as well, & I show my method in the video.😊 thanks for sharing this video 😊
I still have the original kiwi fruit in my garden, a long hairy one with dark green flesh, delicious and it's more than 50 years old. Found it in the garden at springtime when we bought this house. It is a wall of leaves now. Spreads all over the bush on the side of the house. The ones you buy now have hardly any taste! Lucky lucky me!
@ Rob Backyard Gardner how often do I give these seeds fresh air and how long do I give them fresh air for before I put them back into the bag? Can you please make me a video on how I give them fresh air? E.g how do I give them fresh air? Do I simply take it out for some time and then back into the ziploc bag? Or do I open the actual tissue? Thanks!
Thank you for the idea... I have been trying to griw kiwi.. Because I am curious how they look like when it's grown, unfortunately my seeds did not sprout.. Now I saw your technique. I will try.. 😉
I found out that just moving the seeds to the soil, not washing them helps the seed to germinate quickly. But, it still takes longer than other type of fruit to do so. 🥝
When we done all the things and ziped it in zipper bag, the sprinkled water is enough for rest of days to sprout or we have to spikle some water daily?
If you just put the seeds straight into a wire screen strainer, you can easily rub the seeds along the screen and it will remove the slimy gel as you rinse water through it.
i found that if you just roll the seeds in paper towel you can get all the fruit off it takes 5 mins for a whole fruit worth of seeds. cut them out the fruit place on paper towel and roll a few time take seeds and place on dry towel roll again gentile then place in your germination towel and bag no fruit gel
SUGGESTION: when you are rinsing off seeds from the germination inhibiting gel (allow the gel to ferment and it will help with stronger germination results) aggitate the water/seed solution with a pair of bamboo chopsticks.
Mine haven’t been germinating but I guess I did it all wrong. Dried the seeds without removing the slimmy bit and I planted directly into the pots before sprouting!😢 will have to do it all over again
Nice video. I didn't do this method. I just cut a slice and place it in a small pot of dirt, and they all sprouted. However, being that they are too tiny to separate them now, if I wait until they are a little bit older (probably a month) will I traumatize the seedlings?
Hey Rob I planted kiwi seeds straight from fruit and I had 6 seedlings pretty fast.. but after a few weeks they all died! I have one hanging on which was even starting a third leaf, but has the same problem as the rest, the edges of the leaves turn brown and shrivel up. Any idea what is going wrong?
Its a good technique i remember as a kid i planted strawberries and put them behind my tv cause it conducted heat. I soon just put it outside cause they got to long n i became lazy over time n they died.
i live in missouri , zone 5 i believe . could i start the germination process now ? & keep the tree inside - maybe in basement w/ heat lamp - during winter ?
how long after you put the new seeds into the paper towel & zip lock bag do you transfer them into the square plastic containers w/dirt? Do you simply scatter the dirt on top of the seeds on the paper towel? Thanks in advance!
I wonder if fermenting would work on the gel, it has big benefits for tomato seeds. Also with storage of scion wood I know paper is not recommended as it grows mold easy, sawdust, peat, bark, or coir are preffered.
I want to know what can I use to spray my regular plants and my veggie plants that would affect the bugs but not humans when the vegetation begin to grow
The weather here in my city where I live(in Kansas City,MO)it's cold and it snow in the winter,if I plant it first indoors in a flower container after the sprouts was coming out using the technique showed here in this video,and after that I transfer the kiwi tree from the indoors flowers containers to outside on the backyard soil,will the trees survive during the snow and cold winter without dying until spring time?????.

How make bannan seeds
My kiwi seeds sprouted after 6 weeks, so sometimes you have to be patient waiting for germination.
Also watering everyday within time morning or afternoon before night

propagation is advisable for fruit production. No wrong in trying, may get one female plant out of hundred.
This should be pinned
How do you tell the difference between the male and female since they don't produce fruit for many years?
@@Laurel-Crowned When they start flowering, the male and female flowers look different. Male flowers are chock full of pollen while female flowers aren't. Look for the powdery flowers, take the powder, put it in the non-powdery flowers. Even works indoors.

Was really useful Brother. Thank you so much
harish hari Thank you. Glad you liked it!
To prevent mold i use 1 tablespoon sry of baking soda per liter of water peroxide didn't kill root rot and spray it moist also prevents root rot mold.
Can i use sphagnum for the germination? When I use paper, it often become mouldy...
Ohhh so that’s how my cousin was born
Thanks Rob.. I will try to grow my own kiwi... 😍😍😍
you can use a fine kitchen strainer to separate seeds from pulp
Great tip Sam - thank you!
Well ...i hope im not the only one who needs to study now
So when did you switch to tray with paper towel and what soil did you put on top of paper towel in container???

how long after you put the new seeds into the paper towel & zip lock bag do you transfer them into the square plastic containers w/dirt? Do you simply scatter the dirt on top of the seeds on the paper towel? Thanks in advance!
Waxy Parsnips As soon as I saw most of them has sprouted and had roots about 1/2" inch long and just starting to grow leaves out of their seed shell.
Nice Stuart épisode. Thann you vert much
Hi, Is this bag we can keep in fridge for earliest sprout is it possible?
they sprouted ♥️
Do I put the paper towel on the soil and leave it when they've sprouted?
Thanks Rob this does help. I have an old kiwi that I don’t want to just throw away so I will try this.
Did it work?
Rob did you just lay down some starter soil on top of the paper towels once you put them in the containers? Thanks
shoud we keep newborn plants in greenhouse a little bit more?
or 10-25* celsium will be ok for them?
I wonder if fermenting would work on the gel, it has big benefits for tomato seeds. Also with storage of scion wood I know paper is not recommended as it grows mold easy, sawdust, peat, bark, or coir are preffered.
Can you plant some outside? What if it gets cold? Does the tree just die off?
nice video presentation bro, wud u pls tell me wat kind of soil medium u used while u kept them indoors?
Rinku Tony thank you for watching. I used miracle grow moisture control potting mix with a little bit of perlite mixed in.
Nice...what happen after 4 years after your kiwi...hope u are update about that..thx
What are those off white spherical things in soil? They look like beads.
Pearlite. Helps the soil drain
I want to know what can I use to spray my regular plants and my veggie plants that would affect the bugs but not humans when the vegetation begin to grow
I am looking forward to this but how would you know if it’s a male or female plant
I seen the guy sprinkling cinnamon on his Cherry seeds to prevent molding I wonder if you can use cinnamon on all seeds to prevent molding
That sprouted on my birthday🎉
Do you have to plant the kiwi with the paper towel?
The weather here in my city where I live(in Kansas City,MO)it's cold and it snow in the winter,if I plant it first indoors in a flower container after the sprouts was coming out using the technique showed here in this video,and after that I transfer the kiwi tree from the indoors flowers containers to outside on the backyard soil,will the trees survive during the snow and cold winter without dying until spring time?????.
Mine survived our winter. It gets down to the teens here for several weeks, but not a lot of snow.
I wonder if it can still work placing it by 20 degrees
