Title: Actinidia Deliciosa "boskoop"
Post by: springbok on March 06, 2009, 21:01:05

Today I bought a well established Boskoop Kiwi plant (not a cheap one)

Been ploughing through all the threads and still would like some questions answering :) please.

I am going to be planting it on a South Facing wall in a big plant pot.

Can anyone advise on Frost, does it effect this type of Kiwi plant, also about pruning.

Thank you :D

It will benefit from protection from frost in the first year while it is getting established but once settled in they are pretty hardy.
Boskoop is self fertile & should be ok growing in a large container although personally I would be inclined to plant it in the ground if possible.
