GROWING GUIDE
Refrigerate seeds for 3 weeks prior to planting. Seeds must be kept totally dry during this refrigeration period.
Locate a sunny area with partial shade that supports a trellis system or patio cover. Kiwifruit needs support for its vines.Prepare well-drained, rich soil. Space seeds about 1 metre apart when planting directly into the ground. Water throughout the season. Kiwifruit grows best with a large amount of water, especially in dry, hot summers.
