Kiwi Fruit: From Down
NEWARK, Del. - The delec
table kiwi fruit with its green
translucent flesh and limelike
flavor is grown in China, New
Zealand, California and even
Delaware.
Because the deciduous vines that
produce the brown, fuzzy fruit are
hardy only up to mid-Maryland,
this kiwi variety must winter over
in a cold frame. Another tougher
variety with smaller green fruit,
however, can be grown outdoors as
far north as Massachusetts.
“Chinese gooseberry, kiwi
berry, Yan-Tao and Tara vine are
other names for this unique fruit,”
says Lorma Wagner, Delaware
Cooperative Extension master
gardener. “Actually the kiwi is
native to mainland China and
Taiwan where it grows on trees 30
feet high or more. In 1906 it was
introduced into New Zealand,
which became the principal ex
porter of the fruit until California
growers entered the market in
recent years."
Wagner says that kiwi can be
grown from the tiny dark seeds
found in the center of the oval
shaped fruit.
“First separate the seeds from
the pulp by placing the peeled, ripe
fruit in the blender. Blend at a
gentle speed and the live seeds will
sink, the dead seeds will float,”
Warier says. “Plaint them im
mediately before they dry out,
using your favorite sterile,
growing medium.”
Seeds kept at room temperature
should sprout in two or three
weeks. “This variety Actinidia
chinensis grows as an in
teresting grapelike deciduous
vine,” the master gardener says.

Cuttings from a large plant can
be taken in the summer and rooted
in a mixture of one-half peat moss
and one-half perlite, Wagner says.
These cuttings will grow if kept
adequately moist by frequent
misting or if covered with
polyethylene. They should over
winter in a cold frame.
A new hardy kiwi Actinidia
arguta better adapted to Delaware
winters is now available from a
number of mail-order nurseries.
“One of these new cultivars is
called ‘lssai,’ which means ‘one
year’ in Japanese,’’ Wagner says.
“This self-pollinating plant is
capable of producing up to 100
pounds of fruit by the second year.
Other varieties usually fruit in
about three years.”
The hardy kiwi is a shrublike
vine that needs support a wall,
fence or arbor. Its smooth, green
fruit is about an inch long and an
inch in diameter. This plant can
live for SO years.
“When planting, choose a sunny
or partly shaded location. Plant 6,
to 8 feet apart in a well-drained
soil,” the master gardener ad
vises.'Tn April, the kiwi will
produce small, creamy white
blossoms. The fruit ripens in
September.”
One kiwi fruit, which is high in
potassium and vitamin C, contains
about 35 calories. Kiwi can be
eaten raw or cooked and is at
tractive in salads and desserts.
The juice can double as a meat
tenderizer.
“For non-seif-pollinating
varieties, a male and one or more
female plants are essential for
fruiting,” Wagner says.
