How To Grow A Kiwi Tree or Vine From Seed - 24 Months

How to grow a kiwi tree or vine from seed! The kiwi vines are now 24 months old (or 2 years!) and they are still doing great considering the extremely cold winter we had here in North Texas, Zone 8a!!!
In this video I'll be updating you on the vines to show you how much growth they have put on since the last update only a little over a month ago.
As a reminder:
1) I had trimmed the side shoots off of one of them to promote vertical growth along a guiding post to gain height.
2) I topped several of them to try to keep them lower to the ground for now to promote fatter trunks - eventually looking at letting them gain height.
3) I left some alone altogether and just let them vine like crazy.

I'm learning quite a bit about these plants and I'm happy you are here to join me as we watch their journey.

With kiwi, you need to have at least 1 male and 1 female plant in order to produce fruit. In fact, you only need 1 male plant for every 8-10 female plants. I have about 12 plants growing so I'm hoping that at least one is a male. I'm assuming I have at least 1 female plant.

Here's the link to the whole series from seeds to today:

waiting for the next apples from seed update!!!

My single kiwi plant is about 15 months old and I'm happy it's still alive because I'm not a gardener so at about 6 months all of the leaves died but with patience and a bit of hope at about 13 months all of its leaves grew back granted the kiwi has been stunted and is relatively small. Anyways Love your videos and hope you have a great day!

[RunaaSteinamrk]

Just watched this whole series and I am invested now 😁 looking forward to seeing what happens

[RobBackyardGardenerr]

Just an update everyone. Hope you're enjoying the series.

[SilverBricks]

Well I was just looking up how to grow kiwi’s and I stumble onto my favorite coin collector 😂😂

[rootkit]

This is amazing, growing these plants from seed really requires some patience and skill. I hope you have female & male plants! Have a nice sunny day ❤

[LOLWAAHH]

Just watched the whole series and now I’m here! And will be here for the next 4-7 years until they begin to flower :)

[tineejohnston]

Funny watching you talk about these plants like your kids lol

[amaraistired]

Aww I remember when they were just little babies

[stBumbleBeeMaster]

Hey Rob that is awesome! I remember these guys as tiny seeds. Had no idea you had a whole series now! Soon as I posted this comment I am gonna sub and hit that notification button. I lost some of my big Kiwis when they got to big and had to move them. I just wish I had left them in the ground where they where but was getting to many complaints, You have to be really carefull when moving these guys. I wish I had found your video before I moved them several years ago where you mention about the roots easily damaged, But anyways I think you have done a top notch job raising them from such tiny seeds, Keep the good work up.

[thanksinadvance.]

I just watch all your kiwi videos since day one. It's so fun to watch! I feel so inspired! Can't wait for the next video!

[rishabhkala]

[natashapotgieter]

It will create a Medieval look with the iron gate and vines😊😊👏👏👏very nice I'd love to see it in another video once it vines across please

[Stikkelsbær]

When we look through your cool gate between your front and back yards, I see all that grass out front and think "Wow, more space for trees". I think you could convert your front yard into the same secluded growing space, with hedges, trees, and plants. In my neighbourhood in Vancouver, BC, many people have converted their front yards to grape trellises, potato and kale crops, or other things. Often these home owners are Vietnamese, Portuguese dudes, or Italians, but not always. We think grass and heavily fertilized lawns are normal, but they're a pretty recent thing from a historical view. You could have so much more gardening space! haha

[drosprey]

Watching your kiwi experiment is definitely my favorite, kiwi's are what first brought me here a couple years ago (or i guess a little less than that as this is the two year update). I envy your warm weather and long growing season.

[BobMelsimpleliving.]

We bought a pot with two plants in it guarenteed to be male and female 2 years ago. Time will tell.
Best wishes Bob. 🌴🌴

I have watched your series from the beginning. Very informative. Disappointed in finding out that Kiwis were vines instead of trees. Have no room for vines.

[richardsmolko]

Great series, I've watched it whole this morning and I love your enthusiasm! Keep it up :)

[gonietubenyc]

Home Depot sells the treated wood frame for vines to grow on to so they have some support when the flower or fruit

[ernestoquezada]

Amazing video as always!!! You definitely do have a green thumb for gardening
