Does anyone grow a KIWI fruit tree?
Can they grow in the U.S. ?
I'd sure love to try growing one !

they probably can grow in the US, but probably not in NY..... 
Good luck with it!
Good luck with it!

I'm growing kiwi vines...they're not old enough yet to flower and fruit, I think it takes 2 or 3 years. And I'm not sure yet if one of them is male or not...I guess we'll see!
California should be a good place for growing them - they even come in different varieties so you can pick which one would do best in your zone.

You mean kiwi is a vine? I thought it was a tree.
I love kiwi - they're 50 cents each here which is crazy !
I'll bet I can grow one !
Thanks for the tip on asking about different varities.
Mark, thanks for your good luck wishes ! Right back at ya !

Kiwi IS a vine. And you have to have a male and female. They used to grow them near where I lived before we moved here. I used to live in Clovis, CA, by Fresno, so it should grow where you live too. Good luck!
