mrphI now have a kiwi plant. ('Jenny')
The next job is to actually set up somewhere that it'll be happy - it's a climber, so this mostly involves adding vertical posts and horizontal wires along a garage wall, to give it a frame that it can be trained to.
I'm optimistic. But possibly not terribly competent. We'll see how this goes. Hopefully, in a year or three, there will be many small but tasty kiwi fruit.

Date: 2011-03-14 11:14 am (UTC)I've started on apple trees which need training - still not plucked up courage to give a first prune (meant to be done on planting, oops) due to lack of knowledge on whether I need to paint the cuts.
Fruit seems very complicated.
