Kiwi Trellis

Oklahoma Gardening host Kim Toscano demonstrates how to build a trellis for a kiwi vine.

Just a heads up that using a 4x4 post anchor is a lot easier than that auger method you're using. The other suggestion I would have for tensioning the wires would be to have an electric fence wire tensioner at the end of each wire as it connects to a large screw eye that is bolted through the 4x4. The beauty of that is you can maintain the tension of the wire for all the years that it's in place. The other thing I would suggest is that the holes are drilled in the cross bars and attach to the support 4x4 while you have it on the ground. There you can bolt everything in and get it well and secure and then go ahead and slide it right into a 4x4 post anchor and then tighten up the anchor around the post

Why would that be easier, Cecil? Looks like the auger is not so hard to install, and no need for digging a big hole with cement for the 4x4 post... just wondering.

the wire vise used in the video allows for constant tensioning as well. check them out. they are great.

Thanks for uploading this video. It makes me knowledgeable much. I want to watch some more videos about kiwi planting.

[@adamonyx8167]

A tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@carloshenry2188]

@Adam Onyx yup, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself :)

[@lionelboston3253]

@Adam Onyx Yea, have been watching on flixzone} for months myself :)

[@evanever]

Very informative video but I'm inclined to think there must be a cheaper method, even if it's less effective.

궁금했던 정보인데 많은 도움이 되었습니다 감사합니다

[@yxiao37]

Thank you for this very useful video! what is the exact name for the metal piece which lets metal wire goes in one direction?

[@AB-zf8lz]

Awesome share, thank you

[@englanders8396]

Very useful just wondering are your posts just set in the ground or do u use concrete or post concrete mix??

[@fifibernard6412]

learn day by day gratitude

[@PatrickIsherwood]

What do you use to lock off the wire both ends?

[@claud1542]

Where do you plant your kiwi? at the posts or in the centre?

[@outdoorsatenoch4237]

Where did you purchase the wire locking devices?

[@ritagriebel2617]

What is the length of your earth anchor?

[@annestudley8235]

Could you tell me where exactly you plant the vines in relation to the posts and wires? And how do you tighten and secure the wires at the end posts?

[@HearTheTrumpetsSound]

WOW, talked me out of planting Kiwi Vines. It looks like you're caging a tyrannosaurus. i don't think I want a monster like that in my garden. "The KiWi That Ate New York"

[@MrMcGillicuddy]

can you use this trellis style for grapes? I'm planting 4 cold hardy kiwi bines this spring and figured I"d put 4 grape vines in as well. Just thought it would be more uniform on the landscape if I had one solid trellis the same height and look with grapes on one side and kiwi on the other. I always see shorter grape growing styles though so I'm not sure if it would grow tall like kiwi does really quickly

[@mch.l.trecords9169]

I know I am late but yes you can, but you need to use steel vineyard posts instead of T posts and you need a bare minimum of 12.5 gauge high tensile vineyard wire.

[@mammot981]

this is the same video as another one on your channel??

[@michaelallen5516]

Is there a list of materials needed?

[@JudasBytes]

do you sell male and female issai?

[@larrykramer9437]

Where would you plant your kiwis, the center post?

[@hendo-dogs]

You can plant the female in the center and train the two best vines outward to the end posts. I had the male along a chain link fence and kept him clipped small--which takes regular attention! There is a “Prolific” cultivar that is supposedly self-pollinating, but I read elsewhere you won’t get as much fruit as when you’ve got a male. Hand pollination doesn’t seem like a good plan for potentially hundreds of flowers some years down the road.

[@achoays4242]

Can you help me get the male and female kiwi tree cuttings for me to plant in my country? please

[@saracreeden5977]

Would this also work as a grape trellis?

[@samislam6842]

It should.

[@JasbirSingh-kp2zm]

How to you tell young kiwi plant male or female without flowers

[@tropicalfruitjungle8650]

What type of passion fruit are you growing?

[@bryanferrao7336]

Amazon

[@tropicalfruitjungle8650]

@@bryanferrao7336 how does it take the cold temps, and does it fruit well? I just moved to Arkansas and I’m looking for a passion fruit variety that will work for this climate

[@clockguy2]

A Spanish windlass cannot be tied off in the manner that they did. It will just unwind under tension.

[@clpina86]

True and that was not a carriage bolt they used either

[@JoshuaZech]

those aren't carriage bolts

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

I bought what I thought were kiwi trees at Walmart the other day I bring them home and put them in the ground then I look up how to plant kiwi just to find out that I was supposed to have male and female even worse I got to build trellis for these kiwis needless to say I'm kind of pissed

[@allensanders4204]

You dont need a trellis, you can grow them along a chain link fence or drive 3 T posts, and wire a cattle panel to the posts and grow them along the cattle panel horizontally. KIWIS are adaptable. Mine are planted in large containers and growing on concrete reinforcing wire cages like I use for my indeterminate tomatoes. 24" diameter 6 feet tall

[@oz_9376]

why would you think kiwi grows on trees?

[@hendo-dogs]

I bought a variety at the big box store that is supposed to be self fertilizing, though reading up you get better results with a male plent. You could also try pollinating with a tiny paintbrus--works for pawpaws but there will be a LOT more flowers with Hardy Kiwi. You absolutely need a big strong trellis. But don’t cry--those tiny walmart/Lowes plants only cost about $10...

[@badcid1362]

This is way too much, I’ve done this with metal stakes from the depot
