Doug, the argutas are tasting very good. The chinensis are ripening for the first time this year and it is still too early for them. Also in looking at my layout more carefully, these are in more like 4-5 hours of sunlight per day, not the 3-4 I put below. Some kiwis are in areas with 3 hours or less and are growing well, but those plants are too young to have fruited.

Scott, how is the flavour in your various kinds of kiwis grown with
limited sunlight?
