It takes four to five years to get a significant crop. It all depends on the variety. Subsequently, you harvest kiwifruit as late as possible, starting in November, when they are slightly frosty. The taste then becomes more saccharine. Detach the fruit from the plant and allow it to mature indoors.
If you can’t pick kiwifruit ripe in your climate, then resort to a trick. Numerous gardeners expose them to indoor ethylene, a ripening gas emitted by apples and bananas, for instance. This expedites the procedure. Mature kiwifruit can be stored at ambient temperature for roughly a week.
