Jenny Fuzzy Kiwi

The first self-fertile fuzzy kiwi, so one vine is enough, with egg-shaped fruit that has fuzzy brown skin and green flesh. The best bet in Arizona is a sheltered mid elevation spot with afternoon shade and steady water. In the low desert, heat, wind and alkaline soil scorch the leaves and yellow the vine, so expect a struggle.

3 varieties

Chill hours: 100 hours
Harvest: Late September to October at mid elevation; may stall in low desert heat
Pollination: Self-fertile; a male such as Tomuri nearby can improve the crop

It bears no fruit of its own, but one vine pollinates up to eight females. Plant it with Vincent where the pair can have afternoon shade, shelter from wind and acid-amended soil, which means mid elevation more than the low desert.	A well-regarded fuzzy-skinned kiwi bred for low chill, with sweet fruit, but it needs a male Tomuri vine nearby to crop. It fits the milder parts of mid elevation with shade, shelter and acid-amended soil. In the low desert, heat, wind and alkaline soil scorch leaves and yellow the vine, so give it afternoon shade and expect a struggle.

Vining

Climbers using somebody else's structure for height — grapes on a trellis, kiwi over a seating area, a vine up a mature trunk.
