What conditions do kiwi plants like to grow in?
Kiwi plants thrive in a sunny,sheltered location with fertile,well-drained, sandy loam soil and a pH between 5.5 and 6.5, requiring 700-800 chilling hours in winter and adequate,well-distributed rainfall. They need protection from strong winds and frost, which can damage the vines and fruit. For fruit production, both male and female plants are necessary for pollination and a sturdy trellis is required for their vigorous growth.
