Title: Kiwi vines
Post by: singletonb on May 17, 2014, 05:23:54 pm

Is there anyone out there that grows kiwi and is able to offer some advice on how to get it to bear fruit.  I have had two plants for more that 5 years and still no kiwi, just lots of blossums

Another article that may be helpful.  Says that the Kiwi vine won't bear fruit until it's at least 5-9 years old.

Thanks for the great info.  I guess I have a few more years to wait.

I 've never attempted. Hear in South Jersey they are not very popular.
