Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Plant at least one male plant for every 5-6 female plants for pollination and fruit production. Ensure the male blooms at the same time as the female flowers.
How to Water
Water deeply and regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant kiwi in rich, well-drained soil and full sun with protection from strong winds. Ensure a sturdy trellis or support is in place. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, position the plant, and backfill with soil. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
