I've been picking up some good tips in rec.gardens.edible on growing kiwis,
but would welcome the UK point of view.

I'm just about to move one male plant and two female plants to a
south-facing wall in Cambs and any advice from a kiwi owner gardening in an
English climate would be appreciated.


Don't prune them in spring - they bleed like the devil. They also
grow like the devil, which tempts you to cut them back whenever you
are about to be strangled.
