Actinidia deliciosa
Kiwi
Common names: Chinese gooseberry, Large kiwi
This description was machine-translated.
Description
The kiwi is a vigorous, summer-green climber that bears the well-known brown‑hairy, vitamin‑rich fruits. It is usually dioecious—requiring a male and a female plant unless you choose a self‑fertile variety such as 'Jenny'. On a warm trellis the fruits ripen into late autumn.
Care instructions
Plant the kiwi on a sunny, wind‑protected wall with humus‑rich, slightly acidic soil and provide a sturdy trellis, as it becomes heavy. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in summer. Harvest the still‑firm fruits before the first frost (October, week 43) and allow them to finish ripening in a cool place until they give to gentle thumb pressure.
