- Kiwis aren’t difficult to grow, though caring for them attentively is essential as the UK’s unpredictable climate can lead to some occasionally unfavourable growing conditions. As a result, you should choose to grow Hardy kiwis, Kolomikta kiwis or Jenny kiwis, as these are all more capable of growing in colder climates.

Dig a generous hole for your kiwi...
Despite being an exotic fruit, kiwis are relatively easy to look after. They benefit from a good mulch in spring and a regular weekly feed with a general purpose fertiliser through the growing season. Fruit-producing kiwis should be pruned in summer and winter.
Kiwis are relatively trouble-free in terms of pests and diseases. However, young shoots can be prone to damage during cold weather, so protect with horticultural fleece.
Kiwi vines take up to four years to produce fruit, so they're a long-term investment. The fruits should be picked in August and September and left to ripen off the vine over a few weeks.
