Lol, is yours still alive? If so it will surely grow well in your care. An exceptionally good year for it! If Amy pops on I'll ask her how to get cuttings.

How is it supported Dawn? I love the flowers.

Trellis Karen. The flowers are small and quite hidden but I guess it’s a plant for showy leaves rather than flowers.

Thanks Dawn, it is still alive. Now it's protected from boisterous wild life with a piece of chicken wire in front. I used the 2 broken side shoots as cuttings, but they were soft 'wood' , so?

Well, the Kiwi I had was the same. The flowers were gorgeous, but you had to really look to see them. Kiwi is also Actinidia.

At least it's alive, I think I tried semi ripe cuttings a couple of years ago but failed.
Karen I have a kiwi too, tiny tiny lowers aren't they, it's never fruited nor as the fig sigh.
The rhs site says soft wood cuttings!

I have an edible Kiwi too, it's quite old, I wouldn't say it's flowers were that small as kolomikta. They,re produced in abundance, but only last about a fortnight. I am not sure if my plant is a male or female, it's supposed to be dioecious.

You're up early too :)
Mine was from Aldi or Lidl so will be a basic. It's in a big pot, too cold here really, had flowers smaller than Kolo. I cut it right back last year as it was tangled and I wanted to drag the pot into the sun but it survived.

Wow that's an interesting buy.
