We have a new kiwi forum!!

Kiwis are an amazing permaculture plant in my opinion. No matter where you live, there could possibly be a kiwi for you to grow, between the fuzzy kiwi, the hardy kiwi, and the artic kiwi.

Technically their first English name was Chinese Gooseberry. However some seeds were taken by a New Zealand farmer and they were rebranded similar to Ugni molinae (Chilean guava) being bastardized as Tazziberry.

Flora, I'm (anaphylactically!) allergic to the fuzzy kiwfruit, but can have the smooth-skinned varieties no problem. If you haven't already, you might give those a try.

I love the name "tazziberries"! Just plain more fun to say than "kiwifruit", and not "confusable" with the bird or the people.
Oh wait - my bad. Hazard of skimming to read. Sorry.

Anyway, thanks for the new forum, Steve! Hardy/arctic kiwi are on our list to build out for and plant next spring, so this is a great time to dive deeply.

Thanks for the new forum.  I'd love to try growing kiwifruit.  Looking forward to learning more --- especially if there's one that can thrive in my rainy/snowy part of Washington.

Hi, everyone!
I'm excited to learn more about the kiwifruit growing. I'm interested in adding edibles to our plant inventory; I'll admit that I'm a bit intimidated by the trellising part. Same with grapes or hops or other berries.

So, I'll just be over here,   lurking and learning.  

My alter ego who has a potty-mouth wrote a book. Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Adulting-101-your-straight-succeed/dp/1732148503/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3FBIUWQCJQAPM&keywords=adulting+101&qid=1675194062&sprefix=adulting+101%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-5

The native variety here in Japan are tiny and called sarunashi, which amusingly translates to monkey pears!

What is know as kiwi is different to kiwifruit grown here in New Zealand. Would love to be able to get my hands on seed for sarunashi but no way the boarder bio security would let it in
 
You'll find me in my office. I'll probably be drinking. And reading this tiny ad.
