Pruning Kiwi Fruit

[@KrisWiltseArt]

Sweet little yard you have there. Thanks for posting your kiwi pruning. I'm growing hardy kiwi approximately 25 miles north of Seattle and am just learning how to prune them. I'm training using a similar method to yours, espalier against a fence, so your explanations and reasons for cuts are very helpful. Mine have been in the ground for 2 years and I did my first pruning last December. From here I'm not so sure what the heck I'm doing. I figure I'll watch them and make experimental trims this summer. I am tickled pink with these plants. Their growth is explosive and so beautiful. Very easy to grow. Thanks again! I hope you'll post some updates on your lovelies. Meanwhile I'll watch your video a few more times...

G'day Kris, thanks for watching and supporting my channel. If your lucky you may get fruit in a year or 2. Has your kiwifruit flowered yet.

@@frasercoastfoodforest3092 My Issai has little flower buds developing now. It had a couple flowers last year but never set fruit so expectations are low until the male flowers. I noticed last December what looks to be fruit spurs (?) on my Ken's red and male plant. Those little bumps are just popping with green points now, so I'm anxious to see if flowers show. Fingers crossed!

dunno if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last few weeks =)

@Scott Jeremy definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

what is the spacing between two kiwi plants.

[@frasercoastfoodforest3092]

G'day mate, 2 or 3 meters is a good spacing.

Do the males produce fruit at all?

[@frasercoastfoodforest3092]

G'day mate, no only the female produce fruit.

[@michaelbradwell3869]

No worries thanks mate :)

They take a while to fruit Neighbours did in 5 a couple and descent harvest by 6th

[@frasercoastfoodforest3092]

It may take 1 more year then. The 2 bigger one's were about 3 years old when I bought them.
