Kiwi garden destruction again. Another how plant Kiwi vines the wrong way again. Please do not plant large growing vine plants like this. A small growing grape vine or better yet a climbing rose on each side would have been far better. Here is some great Kiwi plant info from Dave Wilson Nursery Hayward Female Kiwi Actinidia chinensis (aka A. deliciosa).
