Self-Fertile Mini Kiwi Fruit 'Issai' in a 2L Pot, Chinese Gooseberry Plant 3fatpigs®

Product Information

This variety thrives almost anywhere, except in extremely wet soil. It prefers fertile, well-drained, acidic soil and will suffer from nutrient deficiencies in soils that are too alkaline. Once you have planted your Issai Mini-Kiwis, you should place a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch at the base of the plant. It is generally pest and disease free, but you should watch your plants for signs of honey fungus and phytophthora. The method of pruning depends on whether you are going to trellis or pergola the mini kiwi. During the first 2 to 3 years of growth of very young plants, the focus is mainly on pruning, because the mini kiwi needs so long to form bearing fruit shoots. You should also take into account that our mini kiwi reaches heights of 2 to 6 meters, so in both cases – whether trellis or pergola – the framework must be nice and stable. Arch or Pergola: these provide great support for your kiwi plant and are very decorative too. The main shoot just needs to be tied to the support and you can enjoy the flowers and then the fruit. Kiwi plants need shelter and sun – these two key elements will provide it with the best possible conditions. Kiwis can be grown in pots like many other fruits which may suit smaller spaces and balconies better.

The kiwi berry is the real flagship of the mini kiwis. Depending on the country or region, the kiwi berry is also sometimes called hardy kiwi, kokuwa or tara vine.

Mini kiwis can be planted in spring, as soon as there is no more frost. To do this, choose a sunny to partially shaded location near the trees. Trochostigma argutum Siebold & Zucc".

You need to decide where to put the suitable support for your kiwi vine and then position the plant near to here so it’s angled towards it.

Actinidia argutaproduces smaller fruits, only about 2.5cm (1in) long, with a smooth skin. Consider growing the self-fertile variety ‘Issai’. The female variety ‘Ken’s Red’ will produce pale red fruits if a male such as ‘Weiki’ or self-fertile ‘Issai’ is growing nearby This section does not cite any sources.

Rostliny potřebují plné slunce, aby mohly růst a plodit, a musí být pravidelně zalévány a hnojeny. Mini kiwi rostou velmi rychle a mohou být docela plodné, pokud jim poskytnete správnou péči. Actinidia deliciosaproduces larger fruits, 3–5cm (1¼–2in) long, that are furry skinned, similar to those sold in supermarkets. If you only have space for one plant, choose self-fertile ‘Jenny’, which produces smaller, well-flavoured fruits. Popular female varieties include ‘Hayward’ and Solissimo(‘Renact’), but forsuccessful fruiting with these you will also need a male such as ‘Tormuri’ or self-fertile ‘Jenny’ nearby For vines to bear fruit, both male and female plants must be present to enable pollination. A male pollinator can enable six female producers to fruit. [11] Flowering typically occurs in late spring (May in the Northern Hemisphere) starting in the third year of growth. [13] If flowers become frost-burned, however, no fruit production will occur during the remainder of the year. [11]Start, MA; Luby, J; Filler, D; Riera-Lizarazu, O; Guthrie, R (2007).
