I'm envious! You have Kiwi!
I've been trying top grow kiwi for ages (zone 8). My first efforts were from a store bought kiwi fruit that I seeded and planted. That worked until the deer showed up and ravaged all the plants. Now, I have 3 of the Arctic Kiwi variety. They've been hanging in there for 3 years, but it may be too hot and dry in the summer for them.

This year’s conditions have been perfect. We planted three Kiwis, two females and a male) 5 or 6 years ago. The varieties are Anna, Andre and Natasha. We have been pleasantly surprised with their hardiness at merely making it through one winter after another. This is the first year that fruit has appeared and it is bountiful to boot.
