Hardy Kiwi

Question

I have three kiwis that have been growing about ten years. They have been flowering for about 5 years. They bloom, then most of the blooms drop off, but there are a few that stay on, producing a small green berry (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in diameter), which then drops off. What could the problem be?

Answer 1

You may need to prune your vines to improve their fruit production. Also, you could have poor pollination—ensure that there is a healthy male variety nearby. Some good male varieties include Tomuri, Atlas and Matua.
