Building a Grape Arbor

Kiwi
The kiwifruit, Actinidia deliciosa, is an aggressive woody climber, capable of growing nearly 10m annually when established and ultimately more than 30m tall (with support). Kiwifruit are dioecious (male and female flowers are borne on separate plants). For fruit production, you will need both male and female plants and you may need to wait a few years before they are established and begin to flower.
At UBC Botanical Garden we grow kiwis on stout trellisses in our Food Garden and up mature coniferous trees in our Asian Garden. In the Food Garden, plants are carefully managed with regular pruning to keep them contained and productive. Perhaps because we have beehives (honeybees) nearby, as well as a diversity of native bees in both gardens, we nearly always get a good fruit set; however, fruit ripening is less reliable in the forested setting of the Asian Garden.
Oregon State University has a good information page (see this link), but the subject is readily searchable, and you may find information more appropriate to your area elsewhere. See also this link to a UBC interpretive sign on vine management.
