📅 When to Plant Kiwi?

Kiwi (also known as Kiwi) belongs to the Fruit & Berries category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Kiwi can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Kiwi is frost-sensitive and should only be planted out after the last frost date for your area. Minimum night temperature: 8°C. Brief cold snaps below 0°C can cause damage.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Kiwi grows best at daytime temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 8°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Kiwi is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.

Rain sensitivity: Medium – Moderate rain is tolerated, but waterlogging should be avoided.
