How deep are these roots? Will they grow in a raised bed trough 6 in wide and grow up trellis?
Katie S on Apr 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: You had better have a very sturdy trellis, because these vines grow profusely! Mine have climbed a section of my pergola 8'x7', & my pergola is made of 6"x6" posts buried 3' in the ground and cemented in. I used 2"x6" cross bars, with the trellis in between for the vines to climb on. The vines wind very tightly on the trellis. Beautiful dense climbing vines!
I had 1 male and 3 female kiwis. I am assuming this is the "male" counterpart? I can't seem to get the male pollinator to survive. Is there something I am doing incorrectly? The female plants are ridiculously strong, and over 10 years old. I am thinking of killing them because I don't get any fruit!! Any suggestions to keep this "guy" alive would be helpful, thanks!
NANCY T on Apr 5, 2016
BEST ANSWER: This is the male counterpart, yes. A non-fruiting pollinator for female kiwi vines. You might try starting the vine in a container indoors near a sunny window. This will help protect it from whipping winds and other elements that might have caused past failure to thrive. Once it's sizable and healthy, carefully transition the vine outside into the ground when it has had some time to grow larger. This article on acclimation (or hardening off) helps advise what to do to transition plants from indoors to outdoors: http://www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/acclimating-new-plants-and-trees

Male kiwi
Very healthy plant. Had it all ready to join the females when the goats got out and stripped all the leaves. It's coming back but probably will be another year before we are successful If anyone has a blooming male I'd pay expedited shipping to get some blossoms here.
