Description
Kiwi 'Hayward' stands out as a top choice among kiwi varieties, renowned for its exceptional flavour and reliable cropping. The fruits are notably sweet with the best eating quality among green kiwi varieties, making it a favourite for home orchards and commercial growers alike. This late-flowering variety produces large, pale brown fruits that are moderately hairy and feature thin skins, perfect for fresh consumption or culinary use. Beyond its delicious fruits, 'Hayward' adorns gardens with large, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant, creamy-white flowers in early summer, adding aesthetic appeal to trellises or pergolas. Ideal for sunny locations in fertile, well-drained soil, 'Hayward' thrives when planted in sheltered positions due to its sensitivity to adverse weather conditions. Prepare the planting area by incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure or compost to support vigorous growth. Provide sturdy support for its twining stems using wires between robust posts, allowing you to train it as an espalier for optimal fruit production and ornamental value. Light: Plant in a sunny position. Temperature: Prefers sheltered locations. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during hot periods. Feeding: Apply well-rotted manure or compost before planting and in early spring. Support: Use sturdy wires for training as an espalier.
