Our Feedback
Hello, I chose your business as it is a family business. Very happy to support you. I am looking forward to receiving the Kiwi Issai plant. Just to let you know that none of the websites where you offer your promotion codes worked. But no worries, happy to support your family business anyway :)
With warm wishes,

Supplied as a pot grown plant approximately1 - 2 feet (30 - 60 cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.More compact in habit than other varieties of Baby Kiwi, 'Issai' also has the added benefit of being self fertile.
After flowering in June, small green fruits dotted white mature over the Summer ready for harvest late September / October.
Whilst the fruits are fairly small yield can be prolific - with a mature plant producing literally hundreds of fruits, and up to 1000 is not unusual. Smooth skinned, the fruits do not need peeling either.
There has been some, limited research to indicate that even though the Issai is self fertile, having a Weiki can increase yield. This isn't something that we have tried and tested but may well do!
