Care
For growing it in a pot, on a balcony or a windowsill.
Pot and support
At least 50 litres and a strong pergola or wire. The vine grows fast.
Water
Plenty in summer. The broad leaves lose water quickly.
Pruning
Shorten the fruiting shoots in winter. An unpruned kiwi turns to leaf and fruit drops off.
In the game
In Verda the kiwi is a rare fruit, both tasty and healing, so it can answer two different notes.
