Did you know you can grow kiwis right in your own back yard?  The
fruit of 'Weiki' kiwi vine is a
cousin of the familiar grocery store kiwis. The berries have the same
sweet-and-citrus taste, but
sweeter. They're smooth-skinned and about the size of a grape so you can just pop them in your mouth - no peeling.  They're also
healthy. Kiwi berries are denser in nutrients like vitamin C than fuzzy
kiwis.

'Weiki' is a German cultivar that's hardy down to -35, and very vigorous. You can get both male and female vines of this cultivar. The male will give you flowers but no fruit, but without him around, the female won't give you any fruit either.  The vines are happy in full sun or
part shade, though you'll get a better crop in full sun. Plan on frequent pruning and strong

support...left unchecked, the vines can reach 40 feet.  A note of warning to cat owners: kiwi vine smells like
catnip to cats, and they may harm foliage or dig at the roots.
