WINDELLAMA, NSW

Kiwiberry - Issai

I chose this plant following extensive searches on youtube and other websites on growing kiwi fruit in general. Kiwiberry, depending on who tells the story, produces fruit in only a year or so, versus five or more years for fuzzy kiwis. The taste of kiwiberry was a clincher, it is similar to fuzzy kiwi, but sweeter and different enough to be unique. Unlike fuzzy kiwi it requires no peeling, the entire fruit is edible. Fruits are smaller than fuzzy kiwi, just a nice mouthful.

I had never eaten Kiwiberry but the idea of fruit that tasted like kiwifruit but didn't require peeling or cutting appealed to me. I simply planted the vine in well prepared soil and kept watered

The fruit is lovely and so far has not had fruit fly strike. The birds don't notice it either. I find our homegrown fruits sweeter than the shop bought fruit - perhaps because it's not picked as early. It's a very vigorous deciduous vine and likes to t...
