never knew that they grow on vines

Beautiful shot. He does Kiwi's for a living?

I didn't know they grew on vines too :-) until he showed me these pictures.

Dave's parents grow them in NZ, these were the pictures he took when he went back.

a bit confused. how high are the vines. Can one walk under grapevines. I thot they are as low as strawberries.
why do they take so long to ripe?

now I confused you. what I meant was the kiwi-vines, not grapevines. must feel very enchanting walking under. lucky dave

Actually, the kiwi's original name was the Chinese gooseberry. Have you ever seen a sleeping kiwi?

think i will let dave answer the kiwi fruit questions...i have no idea about how high or why they take so long to ripen :-)

ya, bro...think they originated from china or something.

thanks to this pic now i know kiwis grow on vines :)

when dave told me kiwi fruit grew on vines, i honestly thought i was the only one who didn't know :-) we need to thank dave for sharing this, apparently little know fact, with all of us :-)

hey chewy, 'dawn n' dave' definately ;-) how have you been?

AW, gua mau juga!

sharon:
Not sure why they take so long. They flower and pollinate in Nov/Dec. Normally will be mostly grown and ready for picking by late April to Early June. Depends alot on how the weather goes over summer.

The vines grow for a long time, the main trunks coming from the ground are 15-20 years old. They just get pruned back for the following year.

pretty much like grapes then...thanks, sweetie:-)

an interesting and yummy revelation! now i know who to contact to get supplies of those yummy fruit!

by the way, . . . will be in spore for easter break. will contact you then. :)

haha...see you soon!
