Hardy Kiwi Cuttings are plant cuttings without roots. Customers grow plants from these cuttings using growth hormones and misting techniques. These techniques require experience and equipment, and there is no guarantee that 100% of the cuttings will make rooted plants. If you have never propagated from cuttings before this is not the one to start with. Cuttings are only shipped on Mondays (please order by mid-night before Monday). Hardy kiwis have smooth skin (no hair) and are smaller, sweeter versions of the typical grocery store kiwi. The entire fruit can be eaten and does not need to be peeled. Kiwis should be planted on a solid arbor or strong fence with guide wires to train the vines. Plants need full sun (with some partial shade, the vines will also fruit). Space plants 12'-15' (feet) apart. Plants bloom in the spring; fruit is ripe in the fall. Fruit is sweet when it starts to soften. When the first fruits soften, they can be picked and stored in the refrigerator for several months. Vines grow very fast and are cold-hardy to -20 degrees F. At maturity, they will produce a very large amount of fruit. Hardy Kiwi vines are pest and disease-free. Very easy to grow organically. Anna is the female variety, and Meader is the male variety. Female plants set fruit. A male plant is needed to pollinate a female plant, and one male plant can pollinate up to six female plants. We can only ship to California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Washington, Oregon, and Mississippi while dormant and bare-root (through March). Plants will be delivered in the sizes listed/selected. The mature plants shown in the pictures are significantly larger than the cuttings or 2.5"-3.5" pots in which we ship plants/cuttings. Some plants will flower in these pots, but most do not. Plants flower when they naturally flower for the period they naturally flower. Most flowers do not flower all year. Plant materials are guaranteed to be healthy upon delivery. If you have a question or problem with the plant upon delivery, please message us and include a picture so we can address the issue. Please be respectful and understand that addressing issues and questions is part of our support for our customers. Things happen during shipments that no one can control, but we insure all plants for these issues. After a healthy plant is delivered, we are happy to answer questions, but we cannot be held responsible for the care a plant receives.
