My first kiwi crop

9 years ago

I may be able to get my first crop of Keewee's this year after three years. These are gold Kiwis, currently maybe 5' branches, the vines were transplanted in a couple of months ago while dormant, and they are currently full of flowers. The female was first, male opened just as last flowers were browning up dry. I tried to manually cross pollinate everything. The blossoms seem very dry and delicate now, easy to knock off. We have a very hot and dry sunny couple of weeks forecast. Any tips? Should I be watering them daily, or normal watering schedule OK?
I have boosted the vines off the ground with temporary gardening steaks just for this year. I plan to move this plant to a better location a few feet away when it's dormant.
