Sorry I haven't been on the list in a while, life kind of intervened.
I had a problem with one of my Kiwi's this year and needed some advice.
I have 3 hardy Kiwi vines, one "Anna", one male, and one "Jumbo" (supposedly a larger Italian
variety).
My male finally bloomed this year and I had fruit set on both the Anna and Jumbo. I have them
each on a 25X8 trellis, and have strawberries underplanted. All seemed to be going well, but we
were having droughty conditions this summer.
Sometime in August the leaves on the Jumbo kiwi yellowed, and the edge of the leaves towards
the tip browned and the fruit shriveled. The vine did put out some more growth that was greener.
The leaves didn't continue to 'die'. I'm guessing it might be some sort of mineral deficiency made
worse by the drought.
Any thoughts? If mineral deficiency, what kind?
Thanks,
