HARDY PLANTS

Harvesting baby kiwis

Between the vegetable garden and the citrus orchard, there’s a big rock, about 4 metres high. We planted kiwis at its foot.

They have since climbed up to the top.
Just two plants, a female and a male. Within a few years they had covered the whole rock.
Seen from above, above the mandarin trees.
To reach the fruit, a staircase descends from the rock.
The staircase leads to a platform and a kiwi tunnel.
It’s pretty handy, even if some fruits are still hard to reach.
Baby kiwis are small, but grow in dense clusters.
The tree is still young, 7 or 8 years old, and the fruit seems to get a little bigger every year. So maybe they’ll eventually make full-sized kiwis.
For the moment, they’re baby kiwis, measuring 3 to 4 centimetres.
You can quickly fill crates with them. There are probably 40 to 50 kilos on the plant.

They taste just like large kiwis, or maybe a little sweeter.

And they’re just the size of a spoon.
Coming soon, the tangerine harvest.
