Self-pollinating Kiwi Jenny 30-40 cm
Self-pollinating Kiwi Jenny 30-40 cm
Self-pollinating Kiwi Jenny is a vigorous kiwifruit climber for the garden, grown for both its decorative foliage and its flavourful fruit. A sunny spot and good support help it develop into an attractive feature on a fence or wall.
Location
Place in a sunny outdoor position and grow it against a trellis, wires, wall or fence so it can be guided neatly as it climbs.
Growth habit and size
A strong climbing fruit plant that develops over time; it typically reaches its full maturity after about 3 years.
Plant care
Grow in peaty soil and allow the plant to establish steadily with reliable support from the start. As a self-pollinating variety, it can set fruit without needing a second kiwi plant nearby.
Pruning and maintenance
Prune in February to keep a clear framework, and in summer remove any side shoots that get in the way so the main stems can be trained along the support.
Winter hardiness
Hardy down to –15°C, making it a dependable choice for outdoor growing in cooler conditions.

Plant outdoors in a sunny position.
Choose a well-draining spot and provide sturdy support such as wires or a trellis for training.
Lightly shape-prune in February to maintain structure.
In summer, remove unwanted side shoots to keep a few strong main branches.
Harvest from September to November as the fruit ripens.
The plant is self-pollinating, so a second plant is not needed for fruit set.
