Kiwi Growers Choice

Our kiwi plants consist of young vines carefully chosen from robust cultivars, primarily Actinidia deliciosa, known as fuzzy kiwi, and Actinidia arguta, referred to as hardy kiwi. These varieties are perfect for gardeners who are eager to cultivate a vigorous climbing fruit plant and are open to discovering which specific type they will ultimately grow. It?s important to note that most kiwi plants require a pollination partner to produce fruit, so planning for this aspect is essential for a fruitful harvest. These kiwi vines are not only functional but also visually appealing, featuring lush, heart-shaped green leaves that create a vibrant backdrop in any garden. In early summer, they produce small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers that add to their charm. The fruit itself varies depending on the species; it can be either fuzzy-skinned and larger or smooth-skinned and smaller, resembling grapes. Most kiwi plants are dioecious, meaning they have distinct male and female plants, which are necessary for fruit production unless a self-fertile variety is included in your selection.For optimal growth, kiwi plants thrive in a sheltered, sunny location with moist yet well-drained soil. Regular pruning is recommended to manage their vigorous growth and to promote the development of fruiting spurs. While it may take three to five years for these plants to begin yielding fruit, the wait is often rewarded with a bountiful harvest that ripens from late summer to autumn. Although these hardy plants can withstand most UK climates, young vines will benefit from some frost protection to ensure their healthy development.To provide you with such a great price, we are unable to accept orders for specific varieties.
