I would like to have a go at growing kiwi fruits in South Lincolnshire
against a south-facing wall. What are my chances of obtaining a
reasonable crop?
The variety Jenny is often on offer though I believe the fruit are quite
small. Is this the best one to try or are there any new varieties that
give bigger crops?
I would be grateful for any experiences of growing kiwis that anyone has had.


Have you seen one growing? - they are pretty brutal. Or do you like Kiwi
fruit a lot? I suspect you will get lots of leaves and few if any ripe
fruit at UK latitiudes.

Figs, nectarines or peaches would be a better bet. YMMV
