🥝 Kiwi 🥝 will thrive in cool climate of the Kenyan highlands where temperatures sometime fall below 10℃. The plants also need a lot of water to thrive so the high amount of rainfall in these regions is ideal.

Loam soils that are well drained and containing a high amount of organic matter are the best. Kiwi plants do not tolerate too much water in the soils. If your soils are a bit compact and water takes a bit of time to drain off, you must plant the vines on raised beds

It should take you at most 2 years from the date of planting to harvest your first fruit if you develop your seedlings from cuttings. However, seedlings developed from seeds take very long- up to 5 years.

Some varieties have separate male and female plants and you can distinguish them by looking at the flowers. If all the parts at the center of the flower are yellow and covered with tiny grains of pollen, then that is a male plant.

If the center of the flower has a white part called stigma, then that is a female plant. The stigma at the center of the flower is sometimes surrounded by parts that look like the anthers of a male flower but without pollen.

Remember, if the variety you have has separate male and female plants, you will need at least 1 male for every 6 to 9 female plants in order to have a good fruit setting.

However, some varieties such as the Actinidia Deliciosa 'Solo' and Actinidia Arguta 'Issai' are self fertile. That means the trees have flowers with both the male parts (Anthers) and the female part (Stigma). For such varieties, all trees self-pollinate themselves
