  • Free Kiwi plant

    This may seem a silly question but does anyone know if the free 'Jenny' kiwi bush can be happily grown in a container?

    Yes, I have on in a 10" pot and it's fine.

              ...and is it self fertile, or do you need another one?

                I think Jenny is the self-fertile one. Does it taste good is what I want to know. I had some in Athens recently that were so sweet and delicious-nothing like the tart kiwifruits I am used to.

                  Well I'm going to order it, a free one has to be worth a go. I'm sure I saw this particular variety in a catalogue for something like £18 and that must be a couple of years ago now.
                  Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                        'Jenny' is, I believe, the self fertile one. Otherwise you'd need a male plant to every five or so female ones.
