Kiwi is a fruit full of vitamins! In fact, a single kiwi is enough to cover the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Native to China, this climbing fruit plant is resistant to cold and disease. Kiwis (or Actinidia chinensis) can be male or female, so the two plants should be planted together. There are self-fertile plants, but their yield will be much lower. Kiwi is a climbing plant with flexible, strong stems. Growing it requires a little patience, but it’s easy. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to plant, grow, and harvest your kiwis!
- Which kiwi to plant?
It’s important to know that kiwis need at least one male and one female plant to grow. Ideally, you should plant two of each sex to ensure pollination. For a maximum of three to five female plants, one male plant is required. Small gardens can manage with a self-fertile plant, but you’ll get very few kiwis.
