kiwi plants

[debster]

I have 3 plants which i am sure are kiwi plants, they are a brown plant with a velvety texture that i sowed about 3 years ago and havent really done anything with
they die right back every winter and i forget about them then in the spring (now) they shoot up and surprise me, but they never get very large what is the best thing to do with them to try and get them bigger, they are currently in a trough i have no greenhouse to put them in for the winter
thanks

strange, debster, our kiwis don't die back, the leaves fall off but the main frame is the same as it was last year, also they are very vigourous plants, ours sprawls along the fence and we tie it in, ours is in a large milk crate  ;D

perhaps i ought to take a picture then you can tell me what it is, felt sure it was kiwi would almost put money on it, but then never got rich gambling lol
;D

maybe there are different types?
we backed the donkeys in the national so I know what you mean about gambling  ;D

Mine just looses it leaves. I don't know the name but it's the small fruit that does not need peeling.

Debster, what kind of stem does it have? Mine is hardish and flexable.
