Imagine growing your own Kiwi fruit at home. All you need is patience and lots of space. These vigorous climbers have a spread of up to 9 meters, and you will need both male and female plants to get fruit. Statistically, about half your plants will be male, and half female. You won’t know which is which until they flower (3 to 5 years after you start them). Grow them in well-drained soil.
