It might if you have a kiwi fruit of each sex (need both for fruit) as
they can be grown and will fruit where I live and we get down to -6 to
-9 regularly. They need protection form wind though.

It has no trouble surviving winter temps here (mine are warmer than
yours) The problem is the temperature in what we laughingly call
"summer".(Yours are warmer than mine).


They're certainly grown around here, where the climate is Devon-like more
or less. Can't say I've ever seen a locally grown fruit though.

BTW there is now an self-fertile cultivar now, 'Jenny' is one, there may
be others. See
