Kiwi (Hardy Kiwiberry) in the US

Now, getting these cracking kiwiberries started, it's a bit of a patient game, to be honest. You'll want to sow seeds indoors, though the best time really varies by your USDA zone. For folks in zones 5-7, it's often March to May, but warmer spots might sow February to April, and some even in fall for natural cold stratification. Sprinkle seeds on top of seed-starting mix, barely cover 'em, then keep 'em moist and warm, about 65-70°F (18-21°C). Don't expect fruit tomorrow; it's about 730 days from sowing to harvest, so it's a long-term commitment.

Once your seedlings have a couple of true leaves, carefully prick 'em out and pot 'em up into individual small pots. Give 'em some time to grow a bit stronger indoors, then gradually harden 'em off over a week or two before planting out after all danger of frost has passed. These are proper climbing plants, you know, so they'll need good sturdy support like a trellis or an arbor, maybe 8-10 feet (2.4-3 meters) apart, especially if you're growing more than one.
