What is the difference in taste between the fuzzy kiwi (which I really,
really like) and the arguta kiwi (which I've never tasted). I am in a zone
that is too hot for the fuzzies, although hopefully, when I move back up
north, I might be able to sqeak a few in.

The smooth kiwis taste better, though I really like the fuzzy ones as
well. It's just that the smooth ones are one of the very best fruits
out there. Check your zone, fuzzy kiwis do grow in Zone 8 and 9,
whereas the range of the hardy (smooth) ones is 5-8. The smooth ones
don't keep nearly as well, though.

Whatever you do, if you plant them, give them a lot of space. 20 ft
from plant to plant is not too much. They are extremely vigorous
plants, the fuzzy ones more so.
