Actinidia deliciosa (Fuzzy Kiwifruit, mangüeyo)
Kiwi grows on a climbing vigorous fast growing vine. The plant has a hairy large cordate leaf. Female and male plants are separate so for fruit production both have to planted for pollination. General the ratio is 1 male to every 5 female . The vine need special trellises , arbors or any other object to climb on. Many time they use an other tree as a trellis. In order to receive fruit the plant needs a minimum of 500 chilling hour.
