We have a few hardy kiwi vines growing up over the deck on an arbor.
Two years ago a porcupine got up there in the spring and pruned the vines severely. We wrapped chicken wire around the posts and it put a stop to that.
This year Sam is training the increasingly lush vines to cover bare spots. He added some bracing in the arbor to reduce the size of the gaps.
We have never had kiwi fruits, but we have lots of blossoms. Maybe we are lacking a male plant.
