How to grow a kiwi tree or vine from seed! The kiwi vines are now 17 months old and they are still doing great considering the extremely hot summer we've had here in North Texas, Zone 8a!!!
In this video I'll be updating you on the propagated branches I trimmed off during the last kiwi update:

As well as following up with you about my testing out a few different growing, training, and pruning methods for them - as a reminder:
1) I had trimmed the side shoots off of one of them to promote vertical growth along a guiding post to gain height.
2) I topped several of them to try to keep them lower to the ground for now to promote fatter trunks - eventually looking at letting them gain height.
3) I left some alone altogether and just let them vine like crazy.
I'm learning quite a bit about these plants and I'm happy you are here to join me as we watch their journey.
With kiwi, you need to have at least 1 male and 1 female plant in order to produce fruit. In fact, you only need 1 male plant for every 8-10 female plants. I have about 12 plants growing so I'm hoping that at least one is a male. I'm assuming I have at least 1 female plant.
