Defy expectations by growing exotic kiwi fruit right here in the UK with the 'Solo' variety, perfect for a sunny, sheltered spot.
This self-fertile variety means you only need one plant to produce a delicious crop of brown, fuzzy fruits, ready for harvest in January.
Enjoy the fruits fresh from the vine, blended into smoothies, added to fruit salads, or baked into a tangy kiwi lime pie.
From late spring, the vine produces fragrant, creamy-white flowers with bright yellow stamens, adding beauty and scent to your garden.
Create a lush, private retreat with this vigorous climber, whose dense, heart-shaped leaves are ideal for covering a south-facing wall, trellis, or pergola.

Species: Kiwi
Variety: 'Solo'
Features: Fragrant, Self fertile
Flowering Time: May, June

Harvest Time: January
Tasting Notes: Refreshingly sweet with tart, citrusy undertones
Uses: Eating fresh, smoothies, pies and jams
Position: Full sun
Ideal for: Arbour, Arch, Beds & borders, Fence, Pergola, Pots, Trellis, Wall
Habit: Grow this vigorous climbing vine against a sunny wall (as an espalier), trellis or pergola.
Hardiness: H4 - Cold hardy down to -10°C (plant in a sheltered position).
Soil Type: Grow your kiwi vine in soil that drains well as waterlogged conditions can lead to root rot.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Rarely impacted by pests or disease.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 4-6m.

Planting Time: January to December
Spacing: Plant 3-4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Regular watering will help your kiwi vine develop well and fruit better, and is especially important for the first couple of years post-planting.
Feeding: In winter, mulch your vine well with rotted manure. Apply a fertiliser that's high in potassium as growth commences during the springtime.
Pruning: Prune twice yearly. In winter, trim the lateral shoots back to a few buds. In summer, reduce fruiting stems to a few leaves beyond where your kiwi fruits are maturing; this helps ensure the plant's energy goes towards the maturation process.
