1. Planting: Ensure your Kiwi is planted in well-drained soil, avoiding waterlogging. The Prolific thrives with partial shade during peak sunlight hours. Please note, this plant will grow vigorously and may need support to maintain its structure. A sturdy trellis or fence should offer ample stability.

2. Watering: Keep the soil moist for the first year to establish a healthy root system.

3. Fertilization: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and fruit production..

4. Pruning: Hardy kiwis are vigorous; proper pruning redirects energy from vegetative growth to fruit production. Remove 60–80% of the vine annually, as fruit grows on two-year-old spurs.

5. Establishment: If your kiwi doesn't reach the support top, cut it back to 1 foot to encourage a vigorous shoot. Once it reaches the top, tip it back and train two buds horizontally along wires or beams; these become your cordons. By the second season, you should have a solid framework. Before spring, prune these cordons to 8–10 buds to stimulate fruiting spurs. Extend the cordon each year, pruning back to 8–10 buds, until the support limits are reached.

Pests: The wonderful thing about growing kiwi plants is they are virtually free of pest and fungal issues. Your plant may begin giving off a scent similar to “Cat Nip” as a result, cats find this plant attractive and will rub against the shoots. This can be problematic for young shoots and could cause damage. This is also makes the plant attractive to deer and gophers eating the leaves of the plant and in some cases the fruit. You can place protective fencing or netting around the plants as a protective measure.

If you have several plants growing in the same area this will also make them a target of scale and garden snails. They like to feed on the foliage. You can use an insecticidal soap or Neem Oil to treat any insect issues.
