The fast-growing kiwi shrub is one of the low-maintenance exotic species that can grow almost anywhere with a suitable climbing aid. The optimal location - also in relation to the yield - should be warm and sheltered from the wind.
The climbing shrub, which comes from the radiant pen family, forms a dense, shady foliage from its large leaves in summer. It is ideal for growing arbours, pergolas and walls.
climate in the growing countries
The kiwis are grown in regions where there is plenty of sun, adequate rainfall, mild winters and no frost in spring. The fruits mainly come to Germany
- New Zealand,
- Italy,
- Chile,
- Greece.
Location in the home garden
A south or southwest facing wall, high fence, arbors or pergolas are great for kiwi plants to climb on. The slightly acidic, humus-rich soil and the mulch cover (€239.00) maintains the pH value and prevents it from drying out.
tips and tricks
In good conditions, the kiwi plants grow to a height of between 8 and 18 meters.
