Kiwi plants are easy-to-grow climbers that produce a good crop in the UK. Plant your kiwi vine in a sunny spot and allow it to scramble up a trellis, arch or pergola. Highly attractive, the red-tipped early foliage of this tropical-looking soft fruit plant is soon covered by pretty clusters of small white flowers followed by a flush of deliciously sweet fruits. If you’re looking for ornamental edibles to cover walls and fences, why not try grape vines or train your favourite fruit trees into fans or espaliers?
