Acinidia deliciosa Female Haywood

Also known as Chinese Gooseberries, this brown furry skinned oval fruit has lovely bright green flesh with tiny black seeds around the centre. Very high in vitamin C, Kiwi fruit is used for fresh fruit, wines, juices and jams. With very strong vigorous growth, a strong trellis will be required for support. Pruning is required to keep growth under control and encourage good size fruit and better ripening. Plant in a sunny sheltered area.

Maturity: Late May to early June.

Suggested pollinators: Only the female produces fruit, the male is used for pollination only. Ratio 1 male plant to pollinate up to 7 female plants.

Tree care: Plant in a well drained and well worked soil. Take care to plant the bud union above the soil level. Water in well and keep soil moist until the tree is established.

Fertilise when planting, and again after new growth appears. Prune tree when planting to encourage new growth.

Position: Full sun
