Actinidia deliciosa ‘Golden Kiwi’
Actinidia deliciosa Golden Kiwi’ is a female kiwi plant. This means that a male plant is needed for fruiting. The yellow kiwi has softer and smaller hairs than other kiwi varieties, the flesh is yellow and the taste is sweeter and more aromatic. The kiwi has its origin in China. In the beginning of the 20th century seeds were brought to New Zealand. When the kiwi became an important export product, the plant was named after the famous walking bird, the Kiwi. It is a fast-growing, swinging climbing plant and is best placed against a climbing frame, fence or pergola. The kiwi blooms in the months of May and June with creamy white flowers. The first ripe fruits will appear in early September. Bear in mind that it can take several years before the plant starts to produce fruit. In general, this takes three to five years. The fruits have a hairy skin, are oval in shape and have yellow flesh, with a white core and a ring of black seeds around this core. The kiwi is healthy and contains a lot of vitamin C. The kiwi plant survives well in our climate and is Hardy to -12° C. If the plant is not yet mature, it is best to cover it in winter when there is severe frost. The kiwi plant needs a warm and sunny spot. The more sun, the sweeter the fruit. A south-facing garden, out of the wind, is perfect. The growth of this plant is very strong. Regular pruning prevents the plant from growing disorderly and also stimulates fruit-bearing.
