Tropical fruit

Post by Cali-wanna-b »

Hi all!
Well it started with Papaya and went out of control. I sowed Dragon fruit, Mango, two types of Papaya and Kiwi seeds. My Kiwi is already above ground after only 5 days. I know the are a vine, but anyone have experience growing them in a container? In additon any advice on my other experiments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Craig

I grow Kiwis and I can tell you that they grow 30+ feet a year. It is not a container plant. You also need a female and male to get fruit. They become massive vines.
It is most definetly an outdoor plant.
