Kiwi, or kiwifruit, is actually
    a berry. We use it as a transition between the herb garden and
    the rhododendrons. It provides dense shade from a trellis, leading
    the visitor from the sunny herbs to the darker beds.

    
To grow kiwi, you need both a
    male and female plant if you want fruit.

    
Hardy kiwi is also available.
    The fruit are smaller--about the size of grapes--and have a smooth
    (edible) skin. A male of either kind is sufficient to pollinate
    both types of kiwi.
