How to Grow and Care for Hardy kiwi

Hardy kiwi, also known as Kiwi Vine, Tara vine, Baby kiwi, Arctic kiwifruit, Kiwiberry

Hardy kiwi thrive best in well-drained soils with regular watering, especially during the growing season, to support their vigorous vine growth. They require a sunny location but can tolerate partial shade. Notably, these plants need a sturdy support structure, such as a trellis or fence, due to their climbing nature. Pruning is essential to maintain plant health and to promote better fruiting, with the best time being in late winter while the plant is dormant.

Hardy kiwi is a perennial climbing vine known for its edible qualities. It stands out with its woody stems that enable it to ascend along structures. This plant exhibits a dioecious nature, meaning it has separate male and female plants, with only the females bearing fruit after pollination. The leaves cloak inconspicuous buds, nestled within this year's growth, which unfold into flowers and subsequent fruits. The twining growth habit and leaf arrangement provide cues for identification.
