Germinating Kiwi Seeds | Growing a kiwi vine

Kiwi grows on a vine. They do best in zones 7-9. Grocery store kiwis are native to southern Asia and they don’t survive temperatures lower than 10 degrees F. But, hardy kiwis are native to northern China and Russia and can survive temperatures as low as -25 degrees F. Remember that kiwi are not true to type, which means that you may not get the same variety of fruit like the one you harvested the seeds from. Here I show you how to successfully germinate kiwi seeds using the zip lock method.

I have tried to germinate kiwi seeds several times in the past with no luck. Cleaning off the seeds and leaving some air in the ziplock bag seems to have changed my results. Continue to try & you will find success 🥝!

I guess I'm lazy I just sliced up a kiwi into thin slices and threw it on some containers with some good soil and put a little sprinkle on top and they all sprouted I didn't do any of that other stuff.

Try the round seeds and elongated seeds. They will give you male and female plants.

[@ntartienii]

what place did you store the seeds for germination?

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

This is so inspiring. I've tried to germinate kiwi but had no success. I will try again as you show here.😜 Thank you for sharing!💕.

[@FarmLifewithKids]

I totally recommend this method! Worked very well for me several times. Germinating was simple, now I just need to get them to stay alive 😅. The first time, they were doing great and as soon as I was getting ready to do an update, I realized I didn’t water them constantly and they died. Then I tried again, and I put them in a very warm window sill ... maybe a little too warm and they died. But germinating like I did in this video definitely works. Just water constantly and place in a warm but not too much window sill 😊

@@FarmLifewithKids Ok. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😘💕💯

[@FarmLifewithKids]

@@cactusandfriends_by_vane I really appreciate your kind words! If I may, can I ask for a favor? At the moment I only have KZbin as a platform, and I’d really like to continue growing this community. If you have any other social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook, would you so so kind and share this channel? Maybe even just a video you think your friends may like.😄

My kiwis where in the fridge, could I still try to germinate? Or buy more kiwis?

[@misterbigstuff8503]

Hi, thanks for your video. Did you stratify the seeds in the fridge for it to germinate?

[@FarmLifewithKids]

Hi 🙋‍♀️ and thank you so much for watching, I hope you consider subscribing! No I did not stratify the seeds. I simply took them out of the fruit and cleaned them well, placed them in a damp napkin inside a ziplock bag and thats it.!

[@TekunoKun]

question so does it still grows kiwis?

[@a33aradhyakadam73]

After seed in bag when open bag?

[@johnnydepprulez]

All my seeds keep going mouldy after two days 😢 im cleaning them and cleaning them drying them etc but i just send up mouldy 😢

[@robingw2615]

Great video 1 question do you get the same kiwi fruit on it as it’s grown from seed?

[@FarmLifewithKids]

Hi thanks for watching! So kiwi, much like apples are not true to type. This means that you’ll get kiwi but it may be a different variety of kiwi than the one you harvested the seeds from. It’s kind of a surprise when you grow kiwi from store bought fruit, you don’t know what variety you’ll end up with. 🤗 I enjoy it anyway.

Farm Life with Kids That’s realy cool it’s like a avocado tree Also how long those it take to get fruit from seed whit a kiwi?

[@FarmLifewithKids]

Robin GW Yes it’s quite amazing. It does take patience tho because it takes 2-4 years until you can get some fruit. And speaking of avocados , check out my latest upload on my 6 month update of my avocado tree grown FROM SEED! Here’s the playlist ☺️ kzbin.info/aero/PLRor-rh0O1lXrbizRh4DkQ5XXMBJGUW51

[@robingw2615]

Farm Life with Kids I will check it out 👍

[@andrewschoenfeldt5620]

Don’t they need to be warm stratified then cold stratified?

[@FarmLifewithKids]

I didnt stratify them, and they germinated quite well. Id say, if you want, try both methods, and see which works best. :)

[@user-hl9tt5ku1d]

Really it's working????

[@erniecamhan]

You don't say what type of soil

[@hawk4383]
