My Edible Fruit Trees: Berry Trees

Kiwiberry Seedling (Seedling)

Comments: - Planted seeds from fruit bought at the supermarket. Many sprouted and were initially kept in pots but were very delicate and only 3 survived and were planted in the ground. Now growing vigorously. Their sex is unknown, so have to wait till they flower to find out. Still no flowers in 2025.

Kiwiberry - Issai (Cutting)

Comments: -

Kiwiberries taste more sweet than kiwi fruit. The issai is self-pollinating so a good variety to try.

Got first fruit in 2022 but it dropped off as the plant is still weak. The same happened in 2023.
