Re: [nafex] When to prune Hardy Kiwi

["dwalsh/wchase" <wchase@interchange.ubc.ca>]

Gordon,

I thought kiwi produce fruit on current year's growth ... i.e. the vines that grew
in the spring of 2000 produced flowers and fruit in 2000.

The reason I had such a problem with kiwi Arguta was that late frosts killed back
the new growth and the second set of vines were not strong enough to produce
flowers and fruit.

That's how I understood the fact that my kiwi vines were eight years old and had
only fruited one of those eight years.    I deleted them and have about ten
different apple varieties cordoned in their place.
