Kiwi fruit contains 10% sugars 1% protein minerals such as potassium Calcium magnesium phosphorus 80% of fruits water
6
dioecious or unisexual Flower color white at first, changing to buff- yellow Male and female flowers appear on different plants (dioecious), and both sexes have to be planted in close proximity for fruit set. Bees are normally used by commercial orchards, although the more labour-intensive hand pollination is sometimes employed.

Its leaves are alternate, oval to nearly circular, cordate at the base, Young leaves are coated with red hairs; mature leaves are dark-green and hairless on the upper surface
9
In the summer, it needs awarm weather and in the winter the plant needs for low temperature limits 600- 1000 hour cooler depending on varieties and so the air temperature drops to less than 8 degrees Celsius for the differentiation of floral buds..
10
humidity must not be less than 60 percent, and the most suitable land for the cultivation of kiwi is land rich in organic matter and good drainage
11
The plant is sensitive to the lack of water in the soil and must be maintained at the level of humidity between 70-90 percent of the orchard and advised to use localized irrigation dotting or short spray does not allow the water collects in the spread of the root zone because they cause rot and root suffocation

13
we Can propagation kiwi by seeds and is mostly for scientific research and either way they are used Cutting
