If its been outside all winter in a pot, yes you can plant it immediately. If its been under cover or inside, then you need to harden it off first.

Thanks. It has been outside so now I have identified the space for it I will plan to get it in. Probably after the rain and gales forecast for the next few days though!!

Is this your only kiwi plant? I thought you needed 2 to get fruit.

You do, Wylie, a male and female plant - but maybe the asker has Actinidia kolomikta and not the fruiting type.

Not really bought for fruit. Just a novelty plant to add to the raised bed.

Just planted my kiwi this morning and noticed that it is a self fertile variety called Issai. Hope it will be happy between my apple and pear trees and settle in well.
