About Kiwi
Kiwi (hardy or fuzzy) is a vigorous fruiting vine that produces loads of sweet-tart fruit — but you need both male and female plants and a sturdy support.
Plant one male for every 6-8 female vines on a strong trellis. Prune hard in winter and summer to control vigor. Hardy kiwis (Actinidia arguta) crop in 3-5 years.
Gardening in Manitoba
Manitoba has a cold continental climate. Winnipeg is Zone 3b-4a. Cold winters and hot summers make for an intense but short growing season. Excellent for sunflowers, canola, and cool-season vegetables.
