Physical Characteristics: This deciduous vine produces vigorous green growth with large, oval, heart-shaped leaves that add a tropical feel to the landscape. The fruit is oval, fuzzy, and brown-skinned, containing emerald-green flesh with a juicy, sweet-tart flavor.
Light Requirements: Kiwi vines require full sun to thrive and produce fruit. Plant your 'Prolific' kiwi in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to support healthy vine growth and optimal fruiting performance.
Watering Needs: Maintain evenly moist soil, especially during the growing season. Deep watering is recommended to encourage strong root development, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Consistent moisture is key during hot summer months and fruit-setting stages.
Soil Preferences: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Enriching the planting area with composted material can improve soil structure and moisture retention. Good drainage is essential to prevent root stress.
Temperature and Climate: Best suited for USDA Zones 7–9. 'Prolific' kiwi vines benefit from a winter chill period but need protection from extreme cold or late spring frosts. In colder regions, plant in a sheltered location to shield from wind exposure.
