Useful information about kiwis and their plants
Botanical characteristics: The kiwi is a climbing plant producing thin stems that cling to any support. To grow, kiwi plants require good humidity and mild temperatures. They need plenty of water for optimal growth. Don’t forget to peel the kiwis because the skin contains inedible tannins.
Beneficial properties: Kiwi is a very nutritious fruit, rich in water, antioxidants and potassium, ideal for athletes. It also contains a lot of dietary fiber which promotes intestinal transit. Grow your own plants to have fresh kiwis at your fingertips!
