Artic Kiwi problem Help!
Hi
I bought 2 female and 1 male artic kiwi's last fall and planted them in a sunny location (2 female are near a trellis and the male is planted 15 feet away). While all 3 are still alive after the winter one of the females isn't growing at all, the leaves are not as dark green as the other 2 plants and the stems are green while the other 2 kiwi's they are red. The other 2 kiwi plants have grown around 3 feet so far and I don't know if the plant is bad or if there is a another problem (nitrogen, root rot?). Thanks for your help |

Thanks for your help Planted just last fall isn't all that long. I would guess the slower one is expending more energy developing its root system, & will eventually catch up with the others. They like a great deal of water; root rot isn't likely unless the soil doesn't drain. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir!

Artic Kiwi problem Help!
I have noticed a big difference in the growth rates of male and female, and different
kinds of winter hardy kiwi. you may have a different cultivar too. if it is growing, dont worry.
