KIWI HAYWARD (female) - 9FR53-

Tips on growing KIWI:

HOW THEY GROW: Kiwis are climbing plants that can reach a height of 8-10 m, with annual growth of 2-3 m. However, it's important to keep in mind that the exact size depends on the kiwi variety, growing conditions, and the type of support used. Some kiwi varieties may be more compact and manageable in size, while others tend to reach more imposing dimensions.

WHERE TO PLANT: Kiwis require a warm, sunny, and wind-protected location with moist but well-drained and fertile soil. They are frost-resistant.

PLANTING AND CARE: Before planting, soak the plant's container in water for 10-30 minutes. Place the plant in a 40 x 40 x 40 cm hole, covering the bottom with 10 cm of well-rotted fertilizer or compost. Fill the hole with fertile soil. Keep at least 30 cm away from walls or other plants, with a distance of 2-4 m between them. Perform severe pruning in January-February, with light pruning recommended in June. Repeat pruning in August. Cover the soil around the plant with bark mulch. Starting in the second year after planting, fertilize the soil starting in March. Water abundantly during the growing season.

HOW TO USE: Particularly suitable for production plantations, home gardens, and vegetable gardens. Recommended for planting along various supports, such as pergolas and fences. It can also be trained to climb along wires stretched between posts.
