Growing kiwi in pots at home is an exciting and rewarding venture, especially if you follow the right steps to ensure healthy growth and fruit production. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to cultivate kiwis in containers:

Understanding Hardy Kiwis

  • Types of Kiwis: Hardy kiwis are smaller and often store-bought. They are dioecious, meaning you need both male and female plants to bear fruit (1 male for every 8-10 females).
  • Recommended Varieties:
    • Ananasnaya: Good for beginners, produces grape-sized fruits.
    • Geneva: Ideal for early fruiting.
    • Dumbarton Oaks: Known for high yields.
    • Michigan State: Produces larger fruits, cold-hardy to USDA Zone 5.
    • Ken’s Red: Notable for red-colored skin.
    • Issai: Self-fertile, no need for separate male and female plants.
