Hardy Kiwi Plant Set: 1 Male and 3 Female Plants
This set pairs Actinidia arguta 'Weiki', a hardy kiwi, with a golden-fruited kiwi variety, and includes one male plant to pollinate 3 female plants. Kiwi plants are either male or female, and only the females fruit, so a male nearby is essential. This set has that covered.
Hardy kiwis such as 'Weiki' produce small, smooth-skinned fruit about the size of a large grape. You eat them whole, skin and all, with no peeling. The golden variety carries yellow-fleshed fruit. Hardy kiwis cope with much colder winters than the supermarket kiwi, which makes them a realistic fruit climber for Irish gardens.
Growing kiwis in Ireland
- Position: a sunny, sheltered wall, fence or pergola. Late spring frosts can damage new shoots, so avoid frost pockets.
- Support: these are vigorous twining climbers, so give them a strong trellis, wires or a pergola.
- Planting: plant the male within a few metres of the females. Water well in the first summer.
- Fruiting: young plants usually take a few years to settle in before they fruit well. Harvest in autumn.
- Pruning: thin and shorten long shoots in winter to keep the plants manageable.
