It took me 8 years to get fruit. I didn't realize that the new growth in spring is as tender as tomato. It contains the flower buds. If you cover them if they sprout before a last frost, they could make it though.. Well worth the trouble. We pick them hard and let them ripen at room temp. or keep them for a week or two in the frig. to slow ripening, bring out when you want them to ripen. They're getting quite popular at the local farmer's market. Hector black, zone 6 middle TN

Am now getting the first batch of hardy kiwis from some a. arguta vines I planted almost 20 years ago & finally found a male (Meader) to pollinate it. They are twice the size of the a. kolomikta fruits & have very strong hints of pineapple. Skins are tougher & more present than the kolomikta as well. Virtually impossible to tell if they are ripe by sight, have to squeeze each one. These unpruned fines are grown up a few ash trees & I see some fruit up to 30 - 40 feet up.
