Recently kiwis have grown in popularity because they\u0027re multitaskers and so easy to cultivate in the home garden. They\u0027re fast\u002Dgrowing.

As a curiosity, cats are attracted to small-fruited kiwis as it has properties similar to catnip, so your small plants will need to be protected from our feline friends.

Create a lush privacy screen with fast-growing kiwis, and you will truly enjoy the fruits of your labour before you know it.Small-fruited kiwis are some of the most productive vines for the garden, but they’re widely produced commercially too. Actinidia Ananasnaya Anna is a very vigorous variety with dense clusters of sweet, oblong yellow-green, somewhat larger fruits.

Their vigorous growth habit and weight of fruit means most kiwi vines need to be grown on sturdy supports. The easiest way is to train them on wires stretched between posts, much like you would do with vines like thornless blackberries. To accommodate the eventual size of the vines I would suggest posts be at least seven to eight feet tall.

When planting, space some of the most vigorous varieties about 15 feet apart, and for the less vigorous, like a. Issai’ eight-foot spacing should be fine. In our area, a friend of mine grew them commercially in a sunny Zone 6 location for many years, with great success. He grew them on the wood/wire frames mentioned earlier, and optimized production in what was a very attractive layout.

Fuzzy kiwis are now a major fruit crop worldwide with over 170,000 acres under production in 11 countries in both Northern and Southern hemispheres.Article content
