PROLIFIC
Product Description:
The bite-sized, 1 ½ inch green kiwis are just right for snacking. They're sweet, high in vitamin C and fuzzless! Relatively compact vines are well suited for smaller spaces—doubly so, since only one plant is necessary to yield fruit.
Kiwi plants are 1 year old and ship late March in 3 ½ inch pots. Order early for best availability. Detailed planting information and growing instructions are included with each order, and may be obtained below. Available only within the contiguous US.

Given that we were away when it arrived, our green-thumbed friend picked it up and babied it for three weeks until we got home. It is in a pot on the east side and growing prolifically. The plan is to move it to a permanent spot nearby, after a construction project is complete. It'll be exciting if we actually get fruit!
Received the prolific kiwi today 5/6/24. It is tiny! Less than 2" tall. This is supposed to be a 1-year-old plant? At $24.95 plus shipping, what I received was not worth it.

I bought this hardy Kiwi and was thrilled to plant it May 2021, however I am still waiting to see blooms and no fruit yet. the plant is well established and has survived two MI winters, and am wondering when it will start bearing fruit.
The typical bearing age for this plant is anywhere from 1'�3 years. Bear in mind that this plant produces blooms and fruit on last year's wood, so don't prune all of the previous year's growth if you expect to harvest fruit! Happy growing!

Initial Instructions
After unpacking, allow the plant a few days to gradually acclimate to its full exposure. Plant your Kiwi in an area with well-drained, not soggy soil. Prolific appreciates protection from the sun during the hottest part of the day.
Cultivation
Kiwis are generally vigorous growers, and require strong support to hold up the plants. A sturdy trellis or arbor at least 6-7 feet tall should provide adequate support. Pruning is not required to produce fruit, but will not hurt the vines. You may find some pruning helpful in training the plant to grow on its support structure. Bear in mind that this plant produces blooms and fruit on last year’s wood, so don’t prune all of the previous year’s growth if you expect to harvest fruit. Keep the soil moist for the first year to establish the plant.
