Day 261: I am excited! The flowers are fading on Hardy Kiwi "Issai," and little kiwi berries are starting to develop. I planted two vines just this spring, so I'm not expecting much of a harvest. However, the description for this variety claims that each vine is capable of producing up to 100 pounds (POUNDS!) of grape-sized fruit at maturity. I will be happy if they just grow to cover the trellis and provide me with vine-ripe snacks when I'm working in the yard. Issai produces a fuzzless berry with a flavour identical to that of full-sized kiwi fruit. Just pop them in your mouth and enjoy!
