Kiwi plants

"SugarChile" wrote in message hlink.net... The birds ignore them, and in the 10+ years I've grown them, I have had no insect problems and no disease problems. I don't spray at all, the only care is to prune in late winter. It's rather remarkable, now that I think about it. There aren't that many plants that don't have *any* problems. We had a horrendous drought last summer, and the vines did wither towards the end, but in a 'normal' year they don't need supplemental water. Are they hungry? Fuzzy kiwis are amonst the hungriest, thirstiest fruits you can find. They want water nearly daily and lots of manure. Hardy kiwi are much less of a glutton, but if you want those gallons-per-vine crops you have to water and feed a lot. Both prefer, like most other fruits, light sandy soils. |
