Kiwi vines are characterised by their sturdy growth habit and attractive foliage. Their large, heart-shaped leaves create a lush canopy, adding a touch of tropical elegance to the garden. These vines can climb to impressive heights, often reaching 9 meters or more, making them ideal for adorning trellises, arbors, or fences.
The true allure of kiwi plants lies in their fruit. Beneath a fuzzy brown skin, kiwi fruit boasts a vibrant green flesh speckled with tiny black seeds. Its flavour is equally appealing, offering a unique blend of sweet and tart notes that have made it a popular ingredient in smoothies, desserts, and fruit salads. While kiwi plants are relatively low-maintenance, they do require proper support for their vigorous growth and benefit from regular pruning to manage their size and shape. With adequate care and attention, these fascinating vines will reward gardeners with both visual appeal and a bountiful harvest of delicious, nutritious fruit.
