Hardy Kiwi Pack ('Ken's Red' + 'Nostino') - 2x 2-litre pot

With this complete duo pack, you have everything you need for a guaranteed, abundant harvest of delicious red hardy kiwis! The pack contains the female 'Ken's Red' and the ideal male pollinator 'Nostino'. 'Ken's Red' is known for its beautiful, striking red skin and red-tinted flesh. The berries are the size of a grape with a smooth, hairless, edible skin, so you can snack on them straight from the plant without peeling. The male 'Nostino' does not bear fruit itself, but produces an abundance of fragrant flowers with rich pollen in late spring, which is essential for the pollination of 'Ken's Red'.

Delicious for snacking on fresh, or as a colourful, tropical addition to fruit salads and desserts. Two vigorous climbing plants that together provide a green, fruit-bearing feature for your pergola, trellis, or wall!

Key features:

• Harvest: September – October (from 'Ken's Red')
• Taste: wonderfully sweet, refreshing
• Fruit colour: deep red with red flesh
• Thorns: no
• Position: full sun to partial shade
• Self-pollinating: no, but this pack already contains the perfect male pollinator ('Nostino')
• Growing method: train along wire, pergola, or trellis
• Height upon delivery: 30-40 cm per plant (excluding pot)

Tips and care:

• Planting: September to March; planting later is possible, but keep in mind that you will need to water more frequently during warm weather as the roots are not yet well established. Plant both climbers close together (for example, on the same trellis or pergola) so that insects can easily transfer the pollen.
• Pruning: requires little pruning in the first few years. After a few years, trim back the older branches of 'Ken's Red' to stimulate new fruit-bearing branches. Prune 'Nostino' lightly immediately after flowering to keep it compact.
• Ground or pots: you can grow all soft fruit in pots; the larger the pot, the better they will do. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in the open ground.

TIP: Give this duo a warm, sunny spot! The more sunlight 'Ken's Red' receives while ripening, the deeper the red colour will be and the sweeter the flavour of the berries.
