If you love the brown tropical kiwi, I think you will love the hardy kiwi more, since it tastes so similar and it can grow in your yard. It has smooth green skin and is smaller, but the insides are just about the same taste.Is it the kiwi that you would buy at the store to eat, or something else? I love kiwi, so fingers crossed.
Alright thankyou. That would be amazing to have in the yard. So is it like a vine where you could make it grow upwards and use it like a sort of shade? I would like to be able to do that.
This plant is perfect for them. No thorns, non-toxic, I have heavy cedar posts like the frame of a shed, and the kiwi will completely cover it. Already this year, it grew over the posts to make a little "cave" so it provides shade. It is gorgeous, in my opinion. The fruit hangs down within my reach. Some of it within reach of the ducks, though I don't recall seeing them take any off the vine. Ripe fruit drops to the earth. (It is harvested a little green, then you can let it ripen on the counter or put in the frij to slow down the ripening, which is nice because a mature vine can produce hundreds of fruits - they are large grape size).
