Can Blake Kiwi Be Grown In A Pot?

Question

I live in Peoria, AZ and would like to grow kiwi since it is one of my favorite fruits. I have limited yard space. If it can be grown in a pot what type would be best. There is one small area of the yard I could plant if I had to. Please advise

Answer 1

Though they can be grown in container, they require constant care. This will include root pruning once a year or every other year, top pruning each year, and feeding quite often.

In ground, they are much easier to care for. It would be ideal if you can plant them there.

Another thing to consider- Kiwi are dioeceous, meaning that the plants are either male or female. This means that you will need 2 kiwi (a male and a female) to produce fruit.
