Default Kiwi Fruit Vine - withstand frosts?

The message
from Eddy contains these words:

Is a Kiwi Fruit likely to survive outside in this location?


Yes.

I hope you have a self-fertile variety? My year-old vines have survived
this winter, and here in East Anglia we've had sub-zero temperatures for
weeks on end - some of them rather crisp...

Jonathan and Rusty, thanks, this sounds like good news.

I forgot to say that besides the choisias dying here because of the cold
we've also lost IN THE GREENHOUSE two bougainvilleas and a hibiscus.
The Kiwifruit survives in the greenhouse but it's in few of the other
losses that we've been so wary of putting it outside.

Eddy.
