Remarks

Solid trellising essential, ideally along a south wall to protect the plant from spring frosts and promote ripening in summer.

This variety of Kiwis, female, requires a male ('Tomuri' ♂) or a self-fertile (Solissimo ®) nearby. Fruiting is good in Mediterranean or Atlantic Climates, the fruit is very large and for this reason is grown in professional fruit production.
