Kiwifruit's growing environment and local conditions

Kiwifruit Growth Environment and Conditions

Kiwi fruit generally grows in mountain forests or bushes, usually entwined around other plants. It is widely distributed in central and southern China, and is more common in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and other places. It prefers a warm growing environment and needs sufficient sunlight.

Kiwifruit growing conditions

When growing, kiwifruit needs sufficient sunlight, but not too strong direct sunlight. The soil must also meet the requirements of fertility and breathability. It is recommended to use slightly acidic soil.

Kiwifruit growth temperature

Kiwi fruit prefers a warm and humid growing environment. During maintenance, the temperature needs to be kept above 10 degrees, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than minus 28 degrees. When the temperature is above 12 degrees, leaves will unfold and buds will appear.

Kiwifruit growth process

In March, the temperature gradually warms up and kiwifruit will sprout green buds. After experiencing a late spring cold snap, its growth rate will become faster, and the leaves will become larger and more lush. The flowers will gradually bloom, and the fruit will begin to grow in April and mature in May-July.

Kiwifruit planting time and method

Kiwi fruit is generally planted in March and April every year. The prepared seedlings are planted with a spacing of 2.0-2.5 meters between plants and 3.5 meters between rows. This is because the temperature begins to warm up during this time, which is more suitable for its growth. When planting, loose and fertile soil needs to be used.
