This is from a well known nursery in my area, so I trust them...

Start harvesting 2nd or 3rd year!
Woohoo we both might have a few for #GardenJournal2019...
Up to 100 pounds of fruit/year, so I don't think I'll worry about a pollinator to increase that! haha
They also say 8-12 feet tall and 8-12 feet wide. Wow that's huge!
Mine came in a small pot, so I put it in a bit bigger pot, and hope to get it in the ground sometime this month or early next..
Cool site.
Harvesting in the second or third year. That's always nice, because I don't do patience very well. We were very fortunate with ouur raspberryy bush, our fig tree and grapevine: they all grew fruin in the second year. Even our plum tree did: he grew exactly 1 plum. It was the most delicious one I ever had :0)
I've almost convinced my girlfriend to give up the fig tree for adoption (a friend really wanted it, and we dln't like figs, so why keep it?). Once it is gone, we can plant the kiwiberry in that spot.
He'll be growing against a wall there. If we can attach some kind of structure to that wall so he can climb, it would be perfect. One thing, though: we're probably gonna need a ladder to be able to pick the fruits ;0)
Can't wait!
