NDQ.Hardy Kiwi
I planted two females and one male Kiwi plant this spring. They were about 4 inches high when I put them in the ground. And by October they are about 6 inches. They didn't die, they really didn't do anything. I read that they are a pretty aggressive plant. Now we are headed into winter and I wonder if they will make it. My question is, shouldn't they have grown more than that? I live in ND, but our summers have pretty normal temperature and moisture. Any hints or tips for their care specially heading into winter, would be appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.Check the site selection information in these articles to make sure your hardy kiwi has everything it needs:
http://www.fruit.cornell.edu/mfruit/kiwifruit.htmlThis article states that a vigorous vine will emerge in the second year, so maybe slow growth in the first year is normal:

Certified ExpertA.Bare root kiwi vines should be planted in early spring, but after the last frost. Kiwi vines previously grown in containers can be planted in spring or in early fall.

November 18, 2016Q.kiwi fruit
How long do I wait until flowers grow into fruit? My vines are loaded with both male and female flowers, and the bees are going crazy.

November 20, 2016A.Kiwi Vine takes several years to mature and it can take 5 to 9 years to produce fruit.
You do need both a female and male vine plant to produce fruit.

Certified ExpertA.Fuzzy kiwis can actually taste sweeter after a light frost, but a hard frost might damage them. So check the weather report. Here is more information on kiwi harvesting:

January 22, 2017Q.Kiwi vines
I have a Kiwi plant, I think it is self fertile. It's been in its permanent position for l year. We had a lovely growth covered in flowers. They lasted for a long time, but then just gradually dropped off, never turning to fruit. What might be the reason, please.

I purchased a kiwi plant about a month ago, and now it is starting to grow. Should I plant it into a planter?

Certified ExpertA.If you won't be planting it in the ground, you should gradually increase the size of the container it is in, repotting when it outgrows the container. Choose one that is just an inch or two wider than the one it's currently in. It's best not to plant a small plant in a large container because that would cause the soil to stay wet for too long, potentially damaging the roots.
