Does anyone have any experience growing kiwiberries? I was gifted one about 3 years ago. I threw it in the ground and it's been happily establishing itself on a trellis all this time.
I was told not to expect fruit for the first 3 years and not a full harvest until 5 years. It's also supposed to be a self fertilising variety.
Welp, we got flowers last year but I don't think we got fruit (I was heavily pregnant at the time so left some gardening stuff go unattended). This year we got flowers and seem to have tiny fruit starting.
It's netted and happily doing its thing but I'm finding conflicting information on how long it takes to ripen and ifit needs anything extra at this time. It's planted in my berry patch which is a more acidic soil.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
